Omar Alderete
28-Year-Old
Sunderland
Premier
Travels with Paraguay
Alderete (concussion) was on the bench for Saturday's friendly against the USA and has cleared concussion protocol, according to Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo.
ANALYSIS
Alderete went into the international break dealing with a concussion, but has shaken off his issues and made a return already, with the defender finding a spot on the bench with Paraguay but going unused. This is massive news for the club, as he has missed their past three games and is a regular starter when fit. He will likely return to the starting role immediately, serving alongside Nordi Mukiele and Daniel Ballard.
