LA PAZ, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) -- Always Ready teenager Jesus Maraude was among four uncapped players added to Bolivia's squad for an end-of-year friendly against Peru, the Bolivian Football Federation said on Tuesday.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder was joined by midfielder Santiago Arce (San Antonio), center-back Leonardo Justiniano (San Antonio) and goalkeeper Bruno Poveda (GV San Jose) as newcomers in the Verde squad.
They were added to a previously announced list of 23 players for the match in the Peruvian port city of Chincha on Sunday.
Peru missed a place at next year's FIFA World Cup after finishing ninth in the 10-team South American qualifying group.
Bolivia secured an intercontinental playoff berth as it seeks its first appearance in football's showpiece event since 1994. ■
