Sour end to strong World Cup

Enciso had one tackle (one won) in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against France.

Analysis: Enciso couldn't carry his previous reliability to the most difficult test of the competition, with his nation eliminated in the round of 16. The forward finished with a slight physical problem, but it appeared to be more due to fatigue rather than an injury. He was ultimately deployed as a striker while also moving near the left wing and taking occasional corner kicks. As for his decisive contributions, he made his presence felt in each of Paraguay's goals, scoring once and providing two assists across five starts.

Cleared for France clash

Enciso (knock) has recovered from the knock he sustained during the victory over Germany and is available for Saturday's round of 16 clash against France, according to La Tribuna.

Analysis: Enciso's recovery is an encouraging development for Paraguay heading into one of the most significant fixtures in the country's recent footballing history. The concern that had arisen following his substitution against Germany has passed, and coach Gustavo Alfaro will have his attacking option fully available for the Philadelphia showdown against France.
