Leaves in pain against France
Alderete was forced to exit with apparent muscle discomfort after 58 minutes of Saturday's round of 16 clash against France.
Analysis: Alderete had recovered from a knee issue that left him out of one game, regaining a starting spot at the expense of Jose Canale. However, the Sunderland player was once again subbed off due to a physical issue, putting his participation at risk if Paraguay make it to the quarterfinals. This is a huge blow to the squad given that Alderete is usually active in defense, having led the team with an average of 9.0 clearances per game during the group phase.
Starting vs. France
Alderete (knee) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's Round of 16 clash against France.
Analysis: The Sunderland center-back didn't play against Germany in the Round of 32, but he's been deemed fit enough to face France's formidable attack led by Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele. Even if Alderete isn't 100 percent healthy, his presence should boost the defensive line as Paraguay will face this game with a 5-4-1 tactical approach.
