Zero shots in loss

Sanabria recorded zero shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States. He was fouled once and committed one foul in 62 minutes of action.

Analysis: Sanabria endured a frustrating evening as Paraguay fell 4-1 to the United States in their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage match. Leading the line, Sanabria showed flashes of danger early on and nearly capitalized on a quick attacking move in the opening minutes, but clear opportunities were limited as the U.S. controlled possession and pinned Paraguay deep for long stretches. He'll look to get off the mark against Turkiye on Friday, June 19.

Trains with team

Sanabria (undisclosed) is back in training with his national team, according to the team.

Analysis: Sanabria had to miss out on Como's last match of the season due to a muscular injury, but he is already seeing improvement as he returns to training camp with Paraguay. This likely means his initial complaint was a minor injury, leaving him with a clear path to the start of the World Cup. Many see the forward as a lead contender to start up top, so this is major news for the team, who start their World Cup campaign on June 12 against Paraguay.

Absent for Como fixture

Sanabria hasn't been selected for Sunday's tilt versus Como because of a late muscular injury, Cremonese communicated.

Analysis: Sanabria is set for more tests and will be assessed by the Paraguay doctors ahead of the World Cup. David Okereke and Milan Djuric will pick the slack behind the starters. Sanabria had a paltry season overall, scoring and assisting once and posting 12 shots (four on target) and six chances created in 25 showings (10 starts).
