Paraguay's national team coaching staff faces a fresh injury concern after forward Ramón Sosa was forced off early in Palmeiras' Brasileirão clash against Cruzeiro on Saturday at Allianz Parque.
Sosa, a former Olimpia player, exited the match in the 17th minute following a strong challenge from Cruzeiro's Lucas Romero that struck his right ankle. He was replaced by Maurício. No official update on the severity of the injury has been released.
The 26-year-old had been in strong form, scoring regularly and logging heavy minutes as a starter for Palmeiras. His early departure adds to the uncertainty ahead of Paraguay's upcoming international fixtures.
