Will have key role for Paraguay
Gomez will have a prominent role in midfield for Paraguay during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Analysis: Miguel Almiron and Julio Enciso will be decisive players in the final third for Los Guaranies, but Gomez's intensity and experience in the Premier League will be key in Paraguay's midfield alongside a more defensive-minded player, either Damian Bobadilla or Andres Cubas. Gomez was a regular starter for Brighton in the 2025/26 season, making 26 starts and 32 league appearances while contributing five goals and one assist.
Three shots in return
Gomez generated three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Leeds United.
Analysis: Gomez, who missed the last three matches due to a knee injury, made his return to the pitch Sunday when he replaced Joel Veltman in the 65th minute. He took three shots in his 25 minutes off the bench, but failed to put any of them on target. He may be able to return to the starting XI in Sunday's season finale versus Manchester United.
