Chile have another must win game when they host Venezuela on Friday morning, a fixture that will make it very unlikely Brereton Diaz plays any part in Blackburn Rovers' hosting of high flying Coventry City at 3pm the following day.

Brereton Diaz is joint top of the Championship scoring charts with Aleksandar Mitrovic and if he can continue his form for club and country the interest, that FLW exclusively revealed this summer, from La Liga will only increase.

The Verdict

It is great to see a striker from the Championship, who actually had a very modest goalscoring record until this season, doing so well on the international stage. The World Cup qualification process in South America is very unforgiving with just four teams automatically qualifying with one play-off spot available in the ten nation group.

Chile are part of the chasing pack after 11 games and need to win all of their next trio against Venezuela, Paraguay and Ecuador, the latter two to be played in November, to stand a chance going into the final stretch.

Brereton Diaz's newly found confidence since playing for his national team is showing no signs of relenting as the chances of him hitting 20 goals for Blackburn this season look more and more likely by the match.
