Zero shots in loss
Sanabria recorded zero shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the United States. He was fouled once and committed one foul in 62 minutes of action.
Analysis: Sanabria endured a frustrating evening as Paraguay fell 4-1 to the United States in their opening 2026 FIFA World Cup group-stage match. Leading the line, Sanabria showed flashes of danger early on and nearly capitalized on a quick attacking move in the opening minutes, but clear opportunities were limited as the U.S. controlled possession and pinned Paraguay deep for long stretches. He'll look to get off the mark against Turkiye on Friday, June 19.
Plays first half against Nicaragua
Sanabria (undisclosed) played the first half of Friday's 4-0 victory against Nicaragua, confirming his return to full fitness after the muscular injury that forced him to miss Como's final match of the season.
Analysis: Sanabria's extended run-out is a significant boost for Paraguay heading into the World Cup, with the forward considered a leading contender to start up front when their campaign gets underway against the United States on June 12. His appearance against Nicaragua confirms there is no lingering concern about the initial muscular complaint and he will be fully available for the tournament opener.
