Paraguay
After a disappointing Copa America, Paraguay improved massively in September as they earned a hard-fought point against Uruguay before a stunner from Inter Miami’s Diego Gomez gave them an emphatic 1-0 victory over Brazil in Asuncion.
Two potential debutants have been included in the squad; Daniel Rivas and Agustín Sández.
Nacional Asuncion’s Rivas is the only domestic-based player to feature in the squad.
Paraguay sit in the playoff places and will be hoping they can emulate what they did last month.

Four uncapped players are on the side in; Diego Romero, Jorge Murrugarra, Luis Ramos and Maxloren Castro.

They begin life without Luis Suarez after he retired following the draw with Paraguay.
Darwin Núñez can return to the side after he had his ban lifted following the Copa America riots.
Marcelo Bielsa’s squad features three potential debutants Agustín Sant’Anna, Tiago Palacios and Miguel Merentiel.
The last squad saw no domestic-based players within the squad, but this time around there are three in; Pablo Suárez, Lucas Sanabria and Joaquín Lavega, all of whom are uncapped.
