Nearing return
Paz (strain) is in the "final days of recovery" ahead of Argentina's World Cup opener, the midfielder posted to his Instagram Story.
Analysis: Paz was a concern for the World Cup opener after a strain left him out of some training and the final match of the league season, but he is now seeing improvements. The midfielder took to his Instagram to say he is in his "final days of recovery," likely meaning a return is on the horizon. It is still unlikely he will make their friendly on Saturday or Tuesday as they approach the situation cautiously, although his addition for their opener against Algeria on June 16 seems to be trending in the right direction.
Still recovering from strain
Paz is dealing with a muscle strain, which has brought concern to the midfielder ahead of the 2026 World Cup, according to Lucas Gatti of El Desmarque.
Analysis: Paz is now a storyline to watch for Argentina heading into the 20236 World Cup, as the midfielder suffered a muscle strain that he is yet to recover from. This is bringing concern with the tournament, just a week from starting, as he may have to be dropped from the squad if the injury persists. They will watch his status closely in the next week as he tries to make his World Cup debut, with Paulo Dybala, Claudio Echeverri or Matias Soule as possible replacements if he does miss out on the squad.
