Bielsa calls up Uruguay squad with Palmeiras, Flamengo stars | OneFootball

This Monday, coach Marcelo Bielsa announced the Uruguayan players called up for the friendlies against Mexico and the United States. The list, however, concerns Palmeiras and Flamengo. On the Verdão side, Emiliano Martínez, Facundo Torres, and Piquerez were called up, while Arrascaeta, Varela, and Matías Viña, all from the Carioca team, also appear on the list.

The three Alviverde athletes join Vitor Roque, Ramón Sosa, Gustavo Gómez, and Flaco López, all called up for their respective national teams, on the list of absences for Verdão in the postponed match of the 13th round against Santos this Saturday.

On the Rubro-Negro side, the players will be unavailable for Filipe Luís to field the team against Sport, also on Saturday, in a rescheduled match of the 12th round. Alex Sandro, Carrascal, Plata, and Danilo were also called up for their national teams.

The six called-up players may also not be available for the upcoming commitments of both teams. Uruguay faces the United States on the 18th, but Palmeiras and Flamengo have matches scheduled against Vitória and Fluminense, respectively, on the 19th.

Therefore, if they play many minutes against the Americans or have logistical issues returning to Brazil, the athletes may miss these two matches for their clubs.

Other call-ups in Brazilian football

In addition to the six players from Palmeiras and Flamengo, other athletes playing in Brazil were called up by Marcelo Bielsa. Puma Rodríguez from Vasco and Laquintana from Red Bull Bragantino also appear on Uruguay's list.
