Gaston Edul reports Nico Paz is not at risk of missing the World Cup | 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 national team player Nicolás Paz suffered a knock 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 insists it is not a serious injury, within the Albiceleste they reviewed the medical tests the player underwent and are not entirely sure about his physical condition. The fact is, 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 in which Paz appears to be a lock—the former Real Madrid player will be visited by one of the national team’s doctors in search of a clearer picture of his injury.

In the latest Serie A season, Paz was one of the standout players in the Italian league, recording 12 goals and 7 assists in 35 matches. He 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 visit to Cremonese on Sunday at 3:45 p.m., because his team is fifth with 68 points, in the Europa League spots, and fighting to qualify for the Champions League.

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