Avoids injury scare
Gomez was attended to by trainers during training Wednesday ahead of Thursday's match against Australia, but only due to a minor scare, according to ABC Deportes.
Analysis: Gomez went down in training and would need some attention from medical staff after the blow, bringing a bit of worry around the midfielder. However, it was only after being stepped on by a teammate, a minor injury scare that now holds no weight. He will then remain an option to face Australia, where he is expected to start in the midfield for a third straight game.
Trains in full, not injured
Gomez trained fully with the Paraguay squad on Sunday, confirming his recovery from the minor knee discomfort that forced him off during the win over Turkey, the federation posted.
Analysis: Gomez had described the issue as nothing serious after being substituted in the 67th minute, and his return to full training removes any lingering doubt about his availability for Thursday's clash against Australia. The midfielder is now expected to retain his place in Paraguay's lineup as they look to secure their spot in the knockout rounds.
