After the bad start of Guillermo Barros Schelotto, which ended in his separation, the Paraguayan team is preparing for dates 3 and 4 of the 2026 South American qualifiers to face Argentina and Bolivia. With the help of Diego Garnero, La Albirroja will begin a new era and hope that it will be better than its predecessor. That’s why the new coach announced the squad list of players active abroad.
The Argentine coach called up 22 footballers for the new FIFA date, including Miguel Almirón, the star of Newcastle in the Premier League. It is important to highlight that Julio Enciso is still absent due to the injury he sustained before the start of the qualification process.
