Gabriel Arias Arroyo (born 13 September 1987) is an Argentine-born Chilean footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Argentine Primera División club Racing Club and the Chile national team.[2]

International career[]

Arias qualifies to play for Chile through his maternal grandparents. In 2018, he was called-up for the first time.[3] He made his debut on 4 June 2018, in a friendly match against Serbia, where he played the whole match and kept a clean sheet on a 1–0 victory.[4]

Being one of the key players for Racing to win the 2018–19 Argentine league, Arias was asked by media if he would play for the Argentina national team, considering that he had played for Chile in friendly matches only. However, he maintained his position of representing Chile internationally.[5]
