Paz (muscular) is in the final days of his recovery and is trending toward being available for Argentina's friendly against Iceland on June 9, according to Hernan Castillo.
Analysis:
Paz himself posted on his Instagram Story that he is in his final days of recovery, with the coaching staff taking a cautious approach by keeping him out of the first pre-tournament friendly against Honduras to avoid any setback. The midfielder's return is expected for the beginning of next week and will be a welcome boost for coach Scaloni given his importance to Argentina's creative setup, and all signs are pointing toward him being available when the tournament gets underway.
