Paraguay could restore Victor Caceres to their starting line-up for their quarter-final clash against Spain on Saturday after he missed their match with Japan through suspension.
If Caceres does make the starting XI, Nestor Ortigoza is expected to be the player to make way, while Aureliano Torres may feature after overcoming a minor calf strain.
Spain's Javier Martinez injured his anke in training and is a doubt, however, coach Vicente del Bosque could name the same line-up for the third consecutive game after backing the out of sorts Fernando Torres.
