Gustavo Morinigo

Date of birth23 January 1977
NationalityParaguayan
Weight75 kg
Height1.78 m
PositionMidfielder

A relatively new talent on the international stage he competes for the left sided position in midfield with Guido Alvarenga. He began his club career at Libertad making his debut in 1996 and has spent all of his career there apart from the 2000 season, which he spent at Guarani. He made his international debut in 2001 and he was pushing to make the position his own in the latter stages of qualification. A tall tidy performer he has a good cross but lacks the real pace needed at international level. He may start from the bench here but will challenge for a starting place.
