Venezuelan coach called up 38 players in what will be some split-squad training sessions prior to the beginning of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers. 

Farías has two squads already defined for the upcoming qualfying matches against Ecuador and Argentina in October.  He has been working with various players from the local league in Apartaderos and Macuchíes in acclimatizing them for the altitude of Quito.  On this list the name that stands out right away is that of Yohandry Orozco.  The Wolfsburg midfielder finds himself on both lists and will most likely get to see some action in both matches.   

Meanwhile his callup list for the match against Argentina features a stonger, deeper, European based squad as they look to get the three point from the Albiceleste when they face off in Puerto La Cruz on October 15th.  

 vs. Ecuador:

- Goalkeepers: Renny Vega (Caracas FC) y Leo Morales (Deportivo Anzoátegui)
- Defenders: Alexander González (Caracas FC), Wilker Ángel (Deportivo Táchira), José Manuel Velásquez, (Mineros de Guayana), José Luis Granados (Real Esppor), José Manuel Rey (Lara), Carlos Salazar (Deportivo Anzoátegui) y Rohel Briceño (Caracas FC).
