Injury Suspension
Est. Return 6/26/2026
Shown red card
Almiron was shown a red card in stoppage time of the first half of Friday's match against Turkiye.
ANALYSIS
Almiron would be the first player to be sent off for the "Vini rule" at the World Cup on Friday, as he was shown his marching orders for covering his mouth as he talked to a Turkiye player. This will leave him out for their final group stage match, a major loss for the team as he is a major part of their attack and a veteran presence. He hopes this doesn't end his World Cup as well, as Paraguay is far from safe from qualifying for the knockouts.
