Peru will face Haiti, Ecuador and Brazil when the Copa America Centenario gets underway in the United States on June 3.

Peru has finalized its squad for next month's Copa America Centenario, with coach Ricardo Gareca focused on unearthing fresh faces.

There were no real surprises in the 23-man squad after the likes of Claudio Pizarro, Jefferson Farfan and Juan Manuel Vargas failed to make the initial roster.

Experienced players Paolo Guerrero, Yoshimar Yotun, Alberto Rodriguez and Christian Ramos were retained Friday, along with five debutants, as Josepmir Ballon and Carlos Lobaton were among the 17 players cut.
