Kaku

Kaku travelled to the 2026 World Cup with Paraguay, wearing number 17, without ever getting on the pitch. His side played 5 matches (1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats) and bowed out in the round of 16, beaten by France 1-0.

Attack went to J. Enciso (5 matches, 387′) and G. Ávalos (4 matches, 142′).

Another 2 players in the Paraguay squad ended up the same way, without a single minute. The full run is on the Paraguay team page.
