The Paraguay team have dismissed reports that Oscar Cardozo could be out of the World Cup and declared the striker could still make next week's opening match against Italy.
Cardozo scored 36 goals for Benfica last season but has been struggling with an ankle injury and has been training away from the rest of the Paraguay squad and the outlook is positive.
"I must clarify that Oscar Cardozo is not out of the World Cup, as has been implied in some media," said Paraguay team doctor Manuel Aguilar. "What's more, neither has he been ruled out of the first game."
So, there you have it, he might even make the first game against Italy in Cape Town on Monday evening. It will be a good game and Paraguay supporters will be hoping he can bring some of his league form to the national stage and if he can, we all here fancy Paraguay could surprise a few people at this tournament.
