(Reuters) - Peru's football federation have confirmed captain Paolo Guerrero has been selected in the team's World Cup squad following the expiry of a doping ban. Guerrero was banned for 12 months after testing positive for cocaine metabolite benzoylecgonine following Peru's World Cup qualifier with Argentina in October last year. The Peruvian Football Federation said on its Twitter site that it would travel to Brazil "to visit our selected Paolo Guerrero", and take photos and kit measurements for the World Cup. Guerrero, 34, returned to professional football with Brazilian side Flamengo last week. Peru, who have qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1982, will face Australia, Denmark and France in Group C at the finals in Russia.
