Miltón Gimenez now Paraguayan, may join Alfaro’s World Cup squad | OneFootball

The Xeneize forward received citizenship through his father and is now eligible for the Albirroja.

In the early days of Boca's preseason, forward Milton Giménez received good news, as Bolavip has learned, the paperwork is finally complete, and he now has both the document and Paraguayan nationality available, since his father was born in that country.

After more than three months of paperwork, the former Banfield player received citizenship and can now be called up by Gustavo Alfaro to play with the Paraguay National Team, with an eye on the World Cup in Mexico, the United States, and Canada, where they will be in Group D.

It is worth noting that these procedures were carried out at the request of the Albirroja coach, as he wants to have the forward for the upcoming call-ups of his team, considering that there are not many options in that area of the field.

With the papers at his disposal, Giménez could be called up for the Paraguay National Team for the first time in the March FIFA date, where they will play two friendlies to be confirmed, against a European team and another from Asia or Africa.

As it stands, the Boca forward will compete for a spot with other players from the Professional League such as Alex Arce, Ronaldo Martínez, and Gabriel Ávalos, also adding Antonio Sanabria, who plays for Cremonese in Serie A in Italy.

If called up, he will be the fifth player born in Argentina to join Alfaro's squad, as the right-back from Racing, Juan José Cáceres, the left-back with a past in Boca, Agustín Sández, midfielder Andrés Cubas, and the offensive midfielder ex-Huracán, Alejandro Romero Gamarra, are also usually called up.
