Uruguay team news
Uruguay will be without the services of Boca Juniors' veteran striker Edinson Cavani due to a muscle issue. On the flip side, La Celeste's all-time leading goal-scorer Luis Suarez (68) has returned to the senior squad for the first time since the 2022 World Cup, but the 36-year-old Gremio striker may have to contend with a spot on the bench to start with as Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez might be preferred to start as the more dynamic and energetic option up front.
Real Madrid's Federico Valverde and Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte will form the midfield pivot in the engine room, while River Plate playmaker Nicolas de la Cruz could retain his place in the creative number 10 role.
Uruguay possible XI: Richet; Nandez, R. Araujo, Caceres, M. Olivera; Ugarte, Valverde; Pellistri, De la Cruz, Rodriguez; Nunez
