America left with only two representatives at the World Cup | OneFootball

The World Cup is reaching its knockout stage, and with that, the teams eliminated in the tournament’s group stage are starting to be decided.

For this World Cup, Las Águilas had four players called up by their respective national teams: Israel Reyes with Mexico, Alejandro Zendejas with the United States, and Brian Rodríguez and Sebastián Cáceres with Uruguay.

But for the knockout stage, Las Águilas will only have two representatives left: Alejandro Zendejas and Israel Reyes.

The Uruguay National Team has been eliminated.

To the surprise of many, Uruguay was eliminated from the World Cup after managing just two points, the result of two draws against Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde, respectively, and one loss to Spain.

Sebastián Cáceres was an undisputed starter and delivered an average performance, as he did not make mistakes that directly affected the scoreline, but he also was not a standout center-back.

Meanwhile, Brian Rodríguez played only 40 minutes: 10 against Saudi Arabia, 10 against Cape Verde, and 20 against Spain. His performance was very poor, though his best minutes came against Cape Verde, where he sent several dangerous balls into the box.

When will they report to América?

They are expected to report to Club América in a couple of weeks to begin working under Guillermo Almada, the team’s new head coach.

It remains to be seen whether offers will come in for both players, as Sebastián Cáceres was said to be on the radar of European clubs, while Brian is drawing interest from clubs in the Arab and Qatari leagues.

It would not be a surprise if both leave the team, but as of today there are no offers for either player.
