Lloris, Jedinak and Kjaer ask FIFA to allow Guerrero to play at World Cup

Hugo Lloris, Mile Jedinak and Simon Kjaer signed a letter addressed to FIFA, calling for the governing body to reinstate Paolo Guerrero

Paolo Guerrero has received the backing of his World Cup rivals, with the captains of France, Australia and Denmark asking FIFA to allow the banned Peru striker to play in Russia.

Guerrero is set to miss the World Cup following the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) decision to uphold an appeal from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to extend his suspension to 14 months after the Peru star tested positive for cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine.
