Gerardo “Tata” Martino released the list of twenty-five players for the upcoming games against Argentina and Venezuela on September 6th and 8th, respectively.

Diego Gavilan has made a return after a long absence from the Albirroja. We wish him luck!

Marcelo Estigarribia, recently transferred to French football from Cerro Porteno, made his international debut in a recent friendly game against France. He played very well, and he may well make his official debut against Argentina.

Salvador Cabanas is hurt, and my only appear in the 2nd game against Venezuela.

We play Argentina in Buenos Aires, and Venezuela in Asuncion.

It would be ideal to collect all six points, but four points would also keep us well on track to qualify for the World Cup.

Goalkeepers: Justo Villar (Valladolid, Spain), Aldo Bobadilla (Independiente de Medellín, Colombia), Derlis Gómez (Nacional, Paraguay)

Defenders: Paulo Da Silva (Toluca, Mexico), Julio César Cáceres (Boca Juniors, Argentina), Claudio Morel Rodríguez (Boca Juniors, Argentina), Julio Manzur (Pachuca, Mexico), Dario Verón (Pumas, Mexico), Carlos Bonet (Cruz Azul, Mexico), Pedro Benítez (Tigres, Mexico), Denis Caniza (Olimpia, Paraguay), Aureliano Torres (San Lorenzo, Argentina)

Midfielders: Edgar Barreto (Reggina, Italy), Edgar González (Olimpia, Paraguay), Cristian Riveros (Cruz Azul, Mexico), Jonathan Santana (Wolfsburgo, Germany), Enrique Vera (América, Mexico), Diego Gavilán (Portuguesa, Brazil), Víctor Cáceres (Libertad, Paraguay)
