Olimpia faces injury concerns ahead of Superclásico against Cerro Porteño

Olimpia is preparing for the Paraguayan Superclásico against Cerro Porteño amidst several roster uncertainties. Manager Pablo ‘Vitamina’ Sánchez faces potential absences due to muscle injuries, specifically affecting midfielder Juan Fernando Alfaro and forward Hugo Sandoval.

Defensive stability is also in question as defender Juan Vera undergoes testing to determine if he can recover from hamstring issues in time for the match. If Vera is unable to play, Bryan Bentaberry is expected to partner Mateo Gamarra in central defense. In the attack, Gabriel Ávalos is expected to lead the line, seeking his first Superclásico goal following a recent run of form.

Olimpia enters the match with a 12-game unbeaten streak in the Clausura tournament, aiming to maintain its position at the top of the table at the Nueva Olla stadium.
