Chile Without Arturo Vidal And Claudio Bravo For Paraguay Friendly
Arturo Vidal is out of Chile's friendly against Paraguay, along with goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
In their first match since winning the Copa America, Chile will be without Arturo Vidal in Saturday's friendly against Paraguay.
The Bayern Munich star was released due to "personal reasons", and allowed to return to Germany, meaning he will miss out on this game. Vidal has said he expects to be back with the Chile squad for October's World Cup qualifiers.
Chile are unbeaten since a friendly in March, but they are likely to find it much tougher with out the dynamic Vidal.
Also missing is Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, Hoffenheim's Eduardo Vargas and Bayer Leverkusen's Charles Aranguiz.
Despite the absences, Alexis Sanchez, Matias Fernandez, Gary Medel and Mauricio Isla are all available.
Paraguay meanwhile, have a strong record against Chile, winning 26 of the 59 matches between the nations with eight draws and 25 losses.
Ramon Diaz's men were fourth at the Copa, losing the third-place play-off 2-0 to Peru.
