Meanwhile, Paredes could make his debut in the first matchday against Argentinos Juniors; however, his lack of match fitness could delay it. According to journalist Emiliano Raddi, the player will have to undergo a mini preseason since his last official match with Roma was on May 25, so two other possibilities arise: July 27 against Huracán at La Bombonera or July 23 in the Copa Argentina against Atlético Tucumán.
