Returns to training
Paredes (hamstring) is back in training, Gaston Edul reports.
Analysis: Paredes is back in full training Saturday after overcoming a hamstring injury. Every sign points towards Paredes being back on the bench for the opener against Algeria. It's a game that Argentina expect to dominate so it's likely the large contingent of injured players aren't rushed back into big minutes for this match.
Making progress
Paredes (hamstring) took part in training Thursday after continuing his rehabilitation from a minor strain, TyC Sports reports.
Analysis: Paredes is expected to be ready to play in the World Cup opener versus Algeria, though his role will likely be limited to a substitute appearance even if he reaches full fitness. He'll continue to be assessed in the final training sessions before the match as he aims to bounce back to contention. The midfielder, who brings experience and ball-distributing quality to the national team, could operate as a backup option behind Rodrigo De Paul, Enzo Fernandez and Alexis Mac Allister as soon as he's healthy.
