Clarivett Yllescas could finally make her season debut for Alianza Lima on Saturday, October 24, when the club faces Regatas Lima in the second date of the Liga Peruana de vóley 2026/2027. The match is set for 19.00 at the Coliseo Polideportivo Lucha Fuentes in Villa El Salvador, with Latina Televisión carrying it on channels 2 and 702 HD.
Her name matters now because Alianza’s first match already showed how carefully her minutes are being handled. Yllescas was on the bench against Rebaza Acosta, but she did not warm up with her teammates and never entered the court, a sign that her return is being measured rather than forced. For viewers who want to follow the duel beyond the television broadcast, it can also be watched on the channel’s website and application.
Daniella Fernández said Yllescas has a chronic injury and is being looked after, and she noted that the player did not even warm up alongside her teammates in the match against Rebaza Acosta. Fernández also recalled that a similar plan was used before the Mundial del año pasado, when Yllescas was given minutes in two prior dates so she could arrive ready for that tournament. That history explains why Alianza is not treating this as a simple lineup decision.
The other side of the equation came from Julio Peña, who said Yllescas is not barred from playing but that Alianza Lima is trying not to risk her. He added that she may get some minutes this weekend, while the club avoids pushing a problem that could worsen and keep her out for several dates or for the Mundial de Clubes. That leaves the most important question unresolved: whether she starts, or whether her first appearance comes from the bench in a short, controlled run.
For Alianza Lima, the match against Regatas Lima is more than an early-season test. The team debuted with a narrow win over Rebaza Acosta, and this meeting has the feel of a high-stakes duel even this early in the campaign. If Yllescas appears, it will likely be because the club believes the risk is now manageable. If she does not, the wait will continue, but the expectation around Saturday night will only grow stronger.
