Peru face an anxious wait after one of their star players Paolo Guerrero was injured during a club match for Brazilian side Flamengo's during their 4-1 win over Bahia.

The 33-year-old was seen during the match grabbing at the back of his left leg, and was ultimately subbed off in the second half of the match.

Guerrero will undergo scans to determine the extent of the injury.

If the injury is deemed serious, it will be a big blow for Peru who are looking to qualify for their first World Cups since 1982, as Guerrero has scored five goals for Peru during qualifying.

Peru will name their squad for the two-legged playoff against the All Whites on Saturday (NZ time).
