Gaston Edul reports Nico Paz’s World Cup place is not in doubt | OneFootball

With 24 days to go before the start of the World Cup, the coaching staff led by Lionel Scaloni is closely monitoring the situation of the player who plays in Serie A.

Argentina international Nicolás Paz has a knock he suffered against Hellas Verona a week ago that is affecting his left knee, which caused some concern, although, according to Gastón Edul, he is not in doubt for Lionel Scaloni’s coaching staff, with 24 days remaining until the start of the World Cup.

Amid a long list of players dealing with physical issues, alarm bells had gone off after he was left out of Como’s squad this Sunday for their 1-0 win over Parma.

Although the Italian club insist it is not a serious injury, the Albiceleste reviewed the tests the player underwent and are not entirely sure about his physical condition. The truth is that he is in pain, and that is why he did not play.

In the coming days, while Scaloni finalizes the list of 26 players — which he has until May 30 to submit and on which Paz appears to be a lock — the former Real Madrid player will be visited by one of the national team’s doctors in order to get a clearer picture of his injury.

In the latest Serie A season, Paz was one of the standout players in the Italian league and recorded 12 goals and 7 assists in 35 matches. He had also added one goal and one assist in five Coppa Italia appearances.

The good news is that he will probably be available for Como’s away match against Cremonese on Sunday at 3:45 p.m., because his team is fifth with 68 points, in the Europa League spots, and is fighting to qualify for the Champions League.

Wearing the Argentina shirt, Paz has made eight appearances and scored one goal, which came in the friendly against Mauritania during one of the friendlies in the last FIFA international window. Will he go to the World Cup?
