Why was the Chicago Fire’s Gastón Giménez absent from Paraguay’s last Copa America match?

As the MLS international break comes to a close, the Chicago Fire are without a couple of regular starters who are still busy representing their countries.

Przemyslaw Frankowski remains away on Euro 2020 duty with Poland, and Gastón Giménez is with Paraguay at the Copa América. After establishing himself as a regular starter for Paraguay since switching his international affiliation last year, Giménez was absent from the 18 man roster in Monday’s 3-1 win over Bolivia.

The move led fans to speculate on Twitter: Has he fallen out of favor? Is there an injury to worry about?
