Enciso leads Paraguay's XI, US relies on Pulisic for debut

Paraguay's star player Julio César Enciso will headline the starting lineup for their Copa America debut against the United States, overcoming concerns about a muscle contusion sustained in the days prior. The young talent has recovered in time for the match and will join a squad captained by Gustavo Gómez.

Enciso will be part of a formidable lineup that includes Orlando Gill, Juan Cáceres, Omar Alderete, Junior Alonso, Andrés Cubas, Damián Bobadilla, Diego Gómez, Miguel Almirón, and Antonio Sanabria, as they prepare to face the host nation.

Meanwhile, the United States, managed by Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino, will place their trust in Christian Pulisic to lead their campaign. The American squad features Matt Freese in goal, protected by a strong defense comprising Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, and Tim Ream.

The rest of the US starting eleven includes Sergió Dest, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Antonee Robinson, Malik Tillman, and Folarin Balogun, completing a team poised for their opening match in the prestigious tournament.
