Back from ban
Almiron is no longer suspended and is an option for Paraguay again.
Analysis: Almiron has cleared his suspension and looks as if he will get another match at the World Cup, as Paraguay are now likely to make the round of 32. He should then immediately return to the starting XI, especially with Diego Gomez now suspended for a game. Almiron can play on either wing of the attack, likely to fill in on the right as Julio Enciso starts on the left.
Shown red card
Almiron was shown a red card in stoppage time of the first half of Friday's match against Turkiye.
Analysis: Almiron would be the first player to be sent off for the "Vini rule" at the World Cup on Friday, as he was shown his marching orders for covering his mouth as he talked to a Turkiye player. This will leave him out for their final group stage match, a major loss for the team as he is a major part of their attack and a veteran presence. He hopes this doesn't end his World Cup as well, as Paraguay is far from safe from qualifying for the knockouts.
