Damián Ísmodes Saravia (born 10 March 1989 in Lima) is a Peruvian footballer who plays for Universitario de Deportes on loan from Racing de Santander in Spain, as a midfielder.

Club career

After just two years of professional football, playing with hometown Sporting Cristal, Ísmodes signed in the 2008 January transfer window with La Liga side Racing de Santander, appearing in one match, the 1–1 draw at CA Osasuna, on May 18, 2008 (one minute played).

However, after receiving very little playing time, he was loaned in January of the following season, joining second level's SD Eibar, until the end of the 2008–09 campaign.

In August 2009, after a very uneventful start to his Spanish career – only four league appearances in two seasons combined, and relegation with Eibar – Ísmodes was loaned to former team Sporting Cristal until the end of 2009–10, returning home.

After playing for Sporting Cristal, Ísmodes stayed in Peru, this time loaned to Universitario de Deportes for one year. He will return to Racing on 31 December 2011.

International career

A full international since age 18, Ísmodes was selected for the final squad at 2007 Copa América, where he appeared twice.
