Nico Paz once again showcased his talent for Serie A team Como, helping them secure a historic spot in the Champions League. However, his participation for Argentina in the FIFA World Cup is now in question.
Spanish media have suggested that Emi Buendia might be considered for a call-up, given the uncertainties surrounding the Serie A star.

Sky Italia now reports that Paz’s fitness concerns stem from a knee and tibia injury suffered during Como’s league match against Hellas Verona. This injury has kept the talented midfielder out of the last two league matches.
There is growing concern regarding his condition in Argentina, as the national team is scheduled to play against Algeria on June 17th. Reports also indicate that if Paz is unable to participate, Buendia will likely step in as a replacement.
Missing the World Cup Could Be a Major Setback
The World Cup represents a pivotal moment in Nico Paz’s career. As one of Serie A’s standout players, participating in the tournament could be a significant opportunity for him to shine on the global stage and dispel any lingering doubts about his skill.

Even Real Madrid is watching closely. Their buyback option remains active, and if Paz performs well, it would strengthen their resolve to bring him back into the fold, possibly under Jose Mourinho’s management.
