Julio Enciso’s Olympics ended in defeat, tears and an injury concern in Marseille.
The Albion forward went off late in Paraguay’s 1-1 draw with Egypt at Stade Velodrome in the quarter-finals.
He had played a big part in the goal with which Albion target Diego Gomez put Paraguay ahead.

Enciso was helpless and overcome with emotion as Paraguay went out on penalties, despite a successful spot kick by the impressive Gomez.
Albion will now await more news on Enciso, who was clearly distraught as he was consoled by team-mates after the defeat.
