Should start at center-back
Alderete is expected to start at center-back for Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Alderete was a regular starter for Sunderland in the 2025-26 Premier League season, notching 32 starts and 217 clearances. He's expected to lead the backbone of the defensive line for the NT alongside Palmeiras star Gustavo Gomez.
Fit for bench
Alderete (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Chelsea.
Analysis: Alderete has returned to play Sunday, although only in a limited capacity, with the defender fit for a bench role. He will hope to find the field for some minutes, as he served as their lead center-back much of the campaign. That said, he heads into the final match of the regular season with nine clean sheets in 32 appearances (32 starts).
