Nico Paz Injury Update: Will He Miss Argentina's World Cup Opener?

As the 2026 World Cup approaches, injury concerns within the Argentina national team camp are finally beginning to subside. However, midfielder Nico Paz remains under close observation due to a left knee issue that is taking longer than expected to reach full fitness.

Despite the setback, optimism prevails within the squad, with the medical staff confident that Paz will be fully ready for Argentina's World Cup opener against Algeria on June 16. During Wednesday's training session in Kansas, Paz trained separately alongside defenders Nahuel Molina and Gonzalo Montiel, who are also managing minor muscle discomfort.

The team is working diligently to ensure their key playmaker is fit for the tournament's start.
