As Enciso prepares for the Copa America, De Zerbi gave him a thumbs up for the summer.
De Zerbi said: I think it can be important for him.
Yesterday (Friday) evening, I met the coach of Paraguay.
We spoke for ten minutes about Julio.
I think it can be important for him, first of all, because he plays for his country and he has to be proud.
It is an honor in every situation a friendly game or the Copa America.
And, secondly, he can improve the physical condition, the confidence to find the best condition to restart next season.
Next season for him is important because he missed too many games."
