Julio Enciso

Encisio took two shots (off target), created one big chance, and assisted on Paraguay's lone goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States. He also suffered four fouls during the match.

Analysis: Enciso worked hard and attempted to carry Paraguay's attack, but he was largely neutralized by a dominant U.S. performance. Returning from a recent injury scare and facing constant defensive attention, he was unable to produce the game-changing moments Paraguay needed. While not one of his most influential international performances, his willingness to demand the ball and drive forward remained one of the few bright spots for Paraguay in an otherwise difficult 4-1 defeat.

Starting at forward

Enciso (thigh) is in the starting XI for Friday's match against the USA.

Analysis: Enciso is back in action Friday and is not just fit, as the attacker has done one better by making the starting XI immediately. The attacker will be set as one of Paraguay's more important players, playing in the top five leagues in Europe, notching three goals and six assists in 27 appearances with Strasbourg. That said, Paraguay's attack, made up of Diego Gomez, Miguel Almiron, Antonio Sanabria and Enciso, could be a scary sight for opposing teams.
