Goalkeeper Wuilker Farinez has been included in Venezuela's provisional squad for this year's Copa America after a two-year absence from international football.

Farinez has not played since June 2022 when he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during a Vinotinto training session.

The 26-year-old returned to action for Caracas FC in late March and has since made seven appearances across all competitions for the Venezuelan club.

Manager Fernando Batista also called up forward Josef Martinez, who missed the team's friendlies against Italy and Guatemala in March.

As expected, the squad includes veterans Salomon Rondon, Tomas Rincon and Roberto Rosales.

The Copa America will be played in the United States from June 20 to July 14.

Venezuela will begin their campaign against Ecuador on June 22 before also meeting Mexico and Jamaica in the group stage.
