Gastón Edul reports Nico Paz’s World Cup place is not at risk | OneFootball

With 24 days to go before the start of the World Cup, Lionel Scaloni’s coaching staff is closely monitoring the situation of the player currently playing 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 has 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 on Sunday for their 1-0 win over Parma.

Although the Italian club insists it is not a serious injury, in the Albiceleste camp they reviewed the medical tests the player underwent and are still not entirely sure about his physical condition. The fact 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 he has until May 30 to submit—and Paz appears to be a lock for it—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 likely 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.

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