Portland Timbers Football Club today confirmed the call ups of midfielders David Guzman and Andy Polo to the Costa Rican and Peruvian national teams, respectively. Both nations will play friendlies on March 23rd and 27th, meaning Guzman and Polo will be unavailable for the Timbers’ March 24th MLS fixture against FC Dallas.
Costa Rica will travel to Europe to face Scotland (in Glasgow, Scotland) and Tunisia (in Nice, France). Guzman has 42 senior caps with Costa Rica since 2010, including playing a role in their 2018 World Cup qualification.
Peru’s travel, on the other hand, will keep Polo domestic as they face Croatia in Miami, Florida followed by a return to Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey to face Iceland.
