Paraguay named a World Cup squad on Monday with Brighton midfielder Diego Gomez, while his former clubmate Julio Enciso, now at Strasbourg, will lead the attack.
Argentina coach Gustavo Alfaro called up 20-year-old left back Alexandro Maidana, who only made his full international debut in March, to come on as a substitute for the injured Mathias Villasanti.
