| Position | Defender |
A centre half that has made plenty of international appearances despite the dominance of Celso Ayala and Carlos Gamarra. He began his playing career at Sport Colombia in Paraguay before moving to play in Argentina for Banfield and then his current club River Plate in 1997. He made his international bow in 1995 and has been used as cover for the main partnership ever since. He is good in the air but has not made the impact many thought he would after the last World Cup. He will be the player to come into the team if they revert to a back three system, but will be on the bench otherwise.
