Given what has been explained above and with the aim of carrying out a more uniform analysis, a comparison has been carried out using the average minutes per game. In this analysis, the situation of Alexander Callens, who has recorded the shortest time on the field of play, stands out. From the end of last season with Girona until the start of this championship (he hasn’t added any minutes), he has barely accumulated an average of 19 ′ per game, which is equivalent to a total of 114 minutes in six games. This situation is cause for concern, especially considering that Callens has been the starter in recent friendlies for the ‘Blanquirroja’.
On the other hand, on the other side are Pedro Gallese and Sergio Peña. The Orlando City goalkeeper has played all 90 minutes in his team’s 27 games all season. As for Sergio Peña, as a field player, he records an average of 85 minutes per game, the result of his participation in 24 games with a total of 2029 accumulated minutes.

It is important to note that as our players are scattered across various leagues and therefore on different continents, not all of them come into the qualifying process at the same level of fitness or match pace. In addition, it should be noted that some of them have experienced club changes throughout this year.
Luis Advincula
He was one of the notable absentees due to injury in the matches against Japan and South Korea. He was out of action for six games with Boca Juniors. Since July 16, he has managed to play five games with the ‘Xeneizes’, three of which were crucial in the Copa Libertadores: the round of 16 against Nacional and the quarterfinals against Racing.
Renato Tapia
Renato Tapia was also among the absences on the tour of Asia experienced by the Peruvian team. He concluded last season without being able to establish himself as a starter in the Galician team, and although there was speculation about a possible change of team for this season, he finally ended up staying in Spain. However, his situation has not changed. In the three appearances in LaLiga 23-24, he has only had the opportunity to play once, accumulating a total of 13 minutes on the pitch. He noted that it is a fixed name in the first line of flyers for Reynoso.
Andre Carrillo
The ‘Culebra’ will wear the Peruvian team shirt again, but this time it will do so under a different club shirt. After five seasons and in the last days of the transfer market, he went from Al-Hilal to Al-Qadsiah, which plays in the Saudi promotion league. He finished his stage in Al-Hilal by playing until the last game available, even playing the Club Champions Cup final with Al Nassr, a team that includes Cristiano Ronaldo among his ranks.
Paolo Guerrero
He is considered as the possible replacement for Gianluca Lapadula. Likewise, he has changed teams, after his transfer from Racing to Liga de Quito. Over the course of 2023, his average minutes on both teams was 39′ per game, raising questions about his ability to play the full 90′. This concern is further supported by noting that in his last ten games he has only managed to complete a full match once.
Raul Ruidíaz
According to recent statements by Juan Reynoso, everything seems to indicate that the Seattle Sounders attacker will be summoned again. Despite the criticism received for his performance, having scored only four goals in more than 50 games with the ‘Blanquirroja’, the national team’s coach is confident that the ‘Flea’ can be a dangerous weapon on the attack front . As far as his average minutes in 2023 go, he has amassed almost an hour of play, but the worrying thing is that he hasn’t managed to score in the last nine games.
