Features in midfield rotation
Paz recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Jordan.
Analysis: Paz registered one shot, one tackle (one won) and four duel wins across his 61 minutes in Saturday's 3-1 win over Jordan before being replaced as part of coach Lionel Scaloni's rotations in the second half, contributing to a midfield performance that kept Jordan's defensive block under sustained pressure. The Como midfielder's technical intelligence and ability to find spaces give Argentina an interesting squad option heading into the knockout rounds.
Being limited in training
Paz missed Thursday training as a precaution and is expected back for Friday session, Gaston Edul reports.
Analysis: Paz was back after a month out with a knee injury and used the Iceland friendly to put his fitness concerns to rest, but a cautious approach from coach Lionel Scaloni and the staff kept him out of Thursday's session as they managed the hamstring area around his left knee. The move was purely precautionary and he was due back for Friday's training. Even fully fit, though, Paz is unlikely to feature heavily for Argentina given the volume of attacking talent competing for places in Lionel Scaloni's squad.
