In Asunción, Cerro Porteño have responded to a difficult domestic spell with a firm decision from their Argentine coach, who has removed players from the first-team group after two successive league defeats.
A hard response to a losing run
The club are navigating a troubled moment in the local championship, with back-to-back losses prompting action from the coaching staff.
- Cerro Porteño have lost their last two matches in the domestic league.
- The Argentine head coach has separated a number of players from the squad.
- Juan Manuel Iturbe and Cecilio Domínguez are among those affected by the decision.
Key names removed from the group
Iturbe and Domínguez are two of the most recognisable attacking names involved in the measure. Their exclusion underlines the seriousness with which the coaching staff view the team’s current run.
Cerro Porteño now face the task of restoring form in the Paraguayan league while managing the consequences of a decision that has reshaped the immediate first-team picture.
