Suffers minor knee injury
Gomez was substituted in the 67th minute of Paraguay's 1-0 victory against Turkey due to a minor knee injury, according to El Debate.
Analysis: Gomez's status will be assessed over the coming days before any further clarity emerges on his availability for Paraguay's upcoming fixtures. The nature of the issue being described as minor is an encouraging early sign for the midfielder's recovery timeline. If he had to miss the clash against Australia on Thursday, Mauricio will likely see a larger role in the front line.
Two shots in loss
Gomez took two shots (off target), committed one foul, and earned a yellow card in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States.
Analysis: Although he was unable to register a goal or assist, Gomez was one of Paraguay's most influential players in possession and showed the competitive edge that has made him a key figure for the national team. Paraguay's midfield was under constant pressure, forcing Gomez to spend significant stretches helping defensively rather than creating chances in the attacking third. He'll look to get more involved going forward in Friday's second group stage match versus Turkiye.
