Paraguay will be without Bayern Munich striker Roque Santa Cruz for their opening World Cup game against England. Santa Cruz has tendinitis in his right knee, but he is expected to be fit for Paraguay's second game against Sweden.
"We have other options," said Paraguay coach Anibal Ruiz. "We want Roque to be 100% as well."
Jose Cardozo, Salvador Cabanas and Nelson Cuevas are possible replacements for Santa Cruz as Paraguay prepare to meet England on 10 June in Frankfurt.
Santa Cruz, who has scored 13 goals in 42 games for Paraguay, has had two operations on his right knee in the last 18 months.
The striker joined Bayern as a 18-year-old in 1999.
Meanwhile Paraguay drew 2-2 in a friendly with Norway in Oslo.
Frode Johnsen gave Norway a first-half lead, before Paraguay took a 2-1 lead thanks to goals from Carlos Gamarra and Nelson Haedo Valdez early in the second half.
Johnsen scored a second for Norway to level the game.

...anyway watch out for those three I would put Pipino, he's lighter and faster. Cardozo hasn't played for a while (he shouldn't had left Toluca a year ago) but he is the best striker i've ever seen playing in Mexico.

Yeah.. too bad. Great stricker. Don't think Paraguay is going far because of that. But IF and only IF he plays for the second game, they will still get a chance to get the 2nd place.
