Key players to watch in USA vs Paraguay

The United States will once again look to captain Christian Pulisic to lead the attack. Defender Chris Richards is racing to regain full fitness, while Matt Freese is expected to start in goal in what would be a landmark World Cup appearance for the New York City FC goalkeeper.

Paraguay, meanwhile, boasts several players capable of causing problems. Veteran winger Miguel Almirón remains the side’s creative spark, while defender Omar Alderete and energetic midfielder Diego Gómez add stability and drive. If forward Julio Enciso is available, his finishing ability could prove decisive.
