The selector of Uruguaythe Rosario Marcelo Bielsahad a full squad to work today, with the return of the striker Luis Suarezahead of next Thursday’s game against the Argentina, in La Bombonera, on 5th. date of South American Qualifiers.

With the arrivals of goalkeeper Franco Israel, midfielder José María Giménez and forward Darwin Núñez, the Uruguayan team faced the second day of training under the orders of Bielsa at the Uruguay Celeste Complex with a full squad and in a double shift.

One of the most notable presences was that of Luis Suárez, in his first appointment in Bielsa’s management, and he trained alongside his teammates for the first time.

Gremio’s scorer performed physical exercises with evident joy at rejoining the group after 11 months. By Bielsa’s decision, the “Pistolero” was not part of the matches against Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Brazil, like Edinson Cavani. The Boca forward received the call from the Rosario coach, but was sidelined due to a muscle injury.

Giménez, one of the leaders of this team, returned after having served the four-match ban imposed by FIFA after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and provided a streaming for the official site of the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF).

“Josema” plays for Atlético Madrid in Spain and is a teammate of Nahuel Molina and Rodrigo De Paul, mainstays of the team led by Lionel Scaloni.

“They are very important players for the Argentine national team and for our club. For me, if they don’t play, the better.”Giménez said with a laugh.

“The match with Argentina will be just like the classics in South America: competitive, with a lot of physical and mental work. And whoever has the fewest mistakes will get it”indicated Giménez.

Uruguay, with 7 points in the South American Qualifiers, will face the leader and world champion Argentina (12) next Thursday, in La Bombonera, for the 5th. date, starting at 9 p.m.
