Remains major doubt

Alderete (knee) is unlikely for Monday's match against Germany after tests on a strain in his knee, according to Alvaro Apontec of Vs Sports.

Analysis: Alderete has undergone his testing and doesn't look bright for the defender, as even though he avoided ligament damage, the strain appears to be too much to play through. This will be a major loss for the team, as he is their lead defender and has been solid thus far, forcing a change in what is already expected to be a tough match. If he were to miss out, Jose Canale is likely to take his spot, hoping to help pull out a major upset.

Not expected to face Germany

Alderete (knee) will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his left knee injury and isn't expected to be an option for Monday's Round of 32 clash against Germany, according to ABC Color.

Analysis: Alderete exited the 0-0 draw against Australia in the closing stages of the second half, and the fact that the defender will undergo an MRI suggests the injury will be tougher than initially predicted. Jose Canale is expected to step into the XI if Alderete can't play, but the loss of the Sunderland center-back would be massive for a Paraguay side that bases its strength on its defensive prowess.
