The Uruguayan press reacted with great surprise because among the 31 footballers mentioned, José María Giménez, Sebastián Coates, Matías Olivera, Fernando Muslera, Martín Cáceres, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Darwin Núñez, Nicolás De la Cruz, Lucas Torreira and Manuel Ugarte did not appear either.
For the next FIFA date, Uruguay scheduled two friendlies: the first will be on Tuesday, June 14 against Nicaragua at 8:30 p.m. at the Centenario Stadium and the second on Tuesday the 20th against Cuba, at the same time and in the same setting.
Four players from Mexican teams Sebastián Cáceres, Federico Viñas, Maximiliano Araújo and Brian Rodríguez have already started training at the Complejo Celeste together with the sparring group.
This group will be joined by footballers who currently make up the Under 20 team, such as Randall Rodríguez, Sebastián Boselli, Facundo González, Mateo Ponte, Fabricio Díaz, Luciano Rodríguez and Anderson Duarte.
