MAN OF THE MOMENT

-

PAOLO GUERRERO heads to his first World Cup but almost missed out due to a drug ban.

However, a tribunal lifted the punishment as it considers an appeal for the 34-year-old, who is Peru’s top scorer and captain.

Their hopes of making waves at a first finals since 1982 revolve around the veteran, who was twice top scorer at the

Copa America.

He scored twice in their final warm-up game too – a 3-0 win over Saudi Arabia – and may be worth your considerat­ion.
