Paraguay national football team prepares for crucial match against Australia

The Paraguay national football team completed its third training session after the valuable 1-0 win over Turkey, a result that allowed them to regain ground in Group D and arrive with concrete possibilities of qualifying for the next round of the World Cup.

What happened in training?

The technical staff led by Gustavo Alfaro continues to fine-tune details for the match against Australia, scheduled for next Thursday at 19:00 local time.

The practice took place at the Spartan Soccer Complex in San José, California.

What is the state of the squad?

Ramón Sosa returned to work in a differentiated manner while continuing his recovery process. In contrast, Gustavo Caballero and Damián Bobadilla rejoined the group tasks and are evolving favorably from their respective ailments.

The main question mark for Alfaro remains the replacement of Miguel Almirón, who will not be able to be present due to the suspension he carries after his expulsion against the Turkish team.

What options does Alfaro have?

Among the alternatives that the coach is considering are Gustavo Caballero, if he fully recovers, to provide speed and depth on the sides; Damián Bobadilla, an option that would reinforce the containment in the middle of the field; and Mauricio, who also profiles as a variant with offensive characteristics to accompany Julio Enciso and Isidro Pitta.

With the classification at stake and the illusion intact, Paraguay faces a decisive week in which they will seek to take a new step forward in their return to the World Cup after 16 years of absence.
