Out to face Turkiye
Caballero (strain) is out for Friday's match against Turkiye, according to ABC Deportes.
Analysis: Cabellero is heading to the sidelines for the second match of the group stage, as the forward is dealing with discomfort from a previous injury. This will give the team fewer options at forward but is unlikely to shake things up much in the starting XI, as he didn't start in the opener. However, it does become a bit more of an issue in terms of depth, as they will also be without Ramon Sosa (ankle), leaving them without multiple attacking options.
Training separately
Caballero is questionable for Paraguay's next game versus Turkiye as he continues to do differentiated work due to a muscle strain, ABC Deportes reports.
Analysis: Caballero didn't play in the opening World Cup match, and it's unclear if he'll be eligible for the remaining group clashes, with the coaching staff likely to be careful to avoid the risk of a setback. The forward would be expected to feature in a bench role if fit, leaving the offensive responsibility to Antonio Sanabria, Julio Enciso and Miguel Almiron.
