Martin Baturina - Scores in loss to England Baturina scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-2 loss against England.

Impact Baturina found the back of the net from long range to score the transitory 1-1 draw midway through the first half. The Como playmaker was a constant creative threat for Croatia, but at times he lacked support and company in the final third. Still, this impressive display against the Three Lions could allow him to remain in the starting lineup versus Panama on Tuesday, June 23.

Nico Paz - Misses session but due back Paz missed Thursday training as a precaution and is expected back for Friday session, Gaston Edul reports.

Impact Paz was back after a month out with a knee injury and used the Iceland friendly to put his fitness concerns to rest, but a cautious approach from coach Lionel Scaloni and the staff kept him out of Thursday's session as they managed the hamstring area around his left knee. The move was purely precautionary and he was due back for Friday's training. Even fully fit, though, Paz is unlikely to feature heavily for Argentina given the volume of attacking talent competing for places in Lionel Scaloni's squad.

Nico Paz - Back in action against Iceland Paz (knee) played 58 minutes during Tuesday's international friendly game versus Iceland, gaining form ahead of the World Cup opener against Algeria.

Impact Paz is unlikely to start in the first few games of the major tournament but offers a talented attacking option if the defending champions need to add playmaking and distance-shooting ability on the wings. If he avoids further fitness complications, he'll compete for playing time with all of Nicolas Gonzalez, Giuliano Simeone and Lionel Messi. The Como man has scored one goal across three international appearances in 2026.

Nico Paz - Set to feature vs Iceland Paz (knee) completed his first training session Sunday after being sidelined since May 10 and will be available for Tuesday's friendly against Iceland, according to Miamiherald.

Impact Paz's return to training is an encouraging development after the knee injury had raised doubts over his involvement in Argentina's early World Cup fixtures. The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is unlikely to start against Algeria on June 16 but his availability gives coach Lionel Scaloni a valuable option in the creative midfield zone, particularly given the injury concerns surrounding several other attacking players in the squad. His recovery ahead of the tournament opener is a timely boost for the defending world champions.

Nico Paz - Could return soon Paz (strain) didn't play in Argentina's friendly against Honduras on Saturday, but coach Lionel Scaloni revealed that "Nico could have been available today", Telemundo Deportes rep...

Impact Paz has shown positive signs in the final days of his recovery process from the muscle injury he picked up in May, and he's expected to be an option in Argentina's World Cup opener against Algeria. While he's unlikely to start, his availability would give the team a solid option, adding differential talent in the attacking midfield zone. He might contend for playing time with Nicolas Gonzalez (strain), Lionel Messi (hamstring) and Giuliano Simeone, gaining increased value if one of the other injured players fails to recover in the short term.

Nico Paz - Final days of recovery Paz (muscular) is in the final days of his recovery and is trending toward being available for Argentina's friendly against Iceland on June 9, according to Hernan Castillo.

Impact Paz himself posted on his Instagram Story that he is in his final days of recovery, with the coaching staff taking a cautious approach by keeping him out of the first pre-tournament friendly against Honduras to avoid any setback. The midfielder's return is expected for the beginning of next week and will be a welcome boost for coach Scaloni given his importance to Argentina's creative setup, and all signs are pointing toward him being available when the tournament gets underway.

Nico Paz - Nearing return Paz (strain) is in the "final days of recovery" ahead of Argentina's World Cup opener, the midfielder posted to his Instagram Story.

Impact Paz was a concern for the World Cup opener after a strain left him out of some training and the final match of the league season, but he is now seeing improvements. The midfielder took to his Instagram to say he is in his "final days of recovery," likely meaning a return is on the horizon. It is still unlikely he will make their friendly on Saturday or Tuesday as they approach the situation cautiously, although his addition for their opener against Algeria on June 16 seems to be trending in the right direction.

Nico Paz - Still recovering from strain Paz is dealing with a muscle strain, which has brought concern to the midfielder ahead of the 2026 World Cup, according to Lucas Gatti of El Desmarque.

Impact Paz is now a storyline to watch for Argentina heading into the 20236 World Cup, as the midfielder suffered a muscle strain that he is yet to recover from. This is bringing concern with the tournament, just a week from starting, as he may have to be dropped from the squad if the injury persists. They will watch his status closely in the next week as he tries to make his World Cup debut, with Paulo Dybala, Claudio Echeverri or Matias Soule as possible replacements if he does miss out on the squad.
