Sanabria and Iturbe get Paraguay call-up for Copa America Centenario

On-loan AS Roma players Juan Manuel Iturbe and Antonio Sanabria have been included in the Paraguay squad for the 2016 Copa America

This year's tournament, to be held in the United States from 3 to 26 June 2016, celebrates the centenary of CONMEBOL and the Copa America.

Iturbe, who joined Roma in the summer of 2014, has spent the last six months on loan at Bournemouth. He was named in Ramon Angel Diaz's original 23-man squad.

Sanabria, meanwhile, has been called up to replace the injured Roque Santa Cruz. The 20-year-old striker has been in fine form during his loan spell at Sporting Gijon, racking up 11 league goals so far this season. Earlier this year he become only the tenth player in 50 years to reach double figures in a single Liga campaign before the age of 20.
