Be brave Roque!

Malaguista striker, Roque Santa Cruz now won’t be taking part in the Copa America Centenario USA 2016 with Paraguay.

Santa Cruz, who sustained a sprain to the internal lateral ligament in his right knee this week, will not be competing in the centenary edition of the tournament with the ‘Albirroja’ side.  Sporting de Gijón striker, Tonny Sanabria will replace the charismatic Blue and Whites’ forward.

Málaga’s number ‘24’, the top scorer in the Paraguayan national team and football icon of his country, cannot take part in what would have been his fifth Copa America.  Be brave Roque!
