Striker Gleiker Mendoza leaves the squad and will miss the double FIFA date after suffering physical discomfort.
The Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF) made his departure official after stating that: “he presented physical discomfort in his ankle and left calf after an accidental game action, for which he has remained under therapeutic treatment.”
In a statement, the FVF announced that after the evaluation of the medical staff and the corresponding studies, it was determined that the player is not physically fit to participate in the commitments of the FIFA date of November, so he will return to his club to continue his recovery process.
Mendoza currently plays with Shakhtar Donetsk in the first division of Ukraine, with whom he has scored three goals in the various official competitions.
Vinotinto will face the Basque Country national team this November 14 at the San Mamés stadium in Bilbao (Spain) and on Tuesday 17th against the Russian team in the city of Krasnodar in that country.
