World Cup: how to watch Uruguay v Saudi Arabia, Flamengo man to start | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player should start in Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia?

The day has arrived for the Uruguayans to take the field in the World Cup! This Monday (15), Uruguay face Saudi Arabia at 7 p.m. (Brasília time), with coverage on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, CazéTV on YouTube, and SporTV on pay TV.

It is also important to highlight that Coluna do Fla will also broadcast the Uruguay x Saudi Arabia match. Starting at 6 p.m. (Brasília time), the Coluna team will be live with the main updates on the Uruguayan side.

Which Flamengo player should start for Uruguay?

The expectation is that Guillermo Varela will be in the starting lineup. That is because coach Marcelo Bielsa likes the Flamengo full-back’s playing style, making him important to the tactical setup both offensively and defensively.

De La Cruz, however, is expected to start on the bench in Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia. The midfielder faces strong competition in La Celeste’s midfield and will therefore be an option for later in the match.

What about Arrascaeta?

Arrascaeta, on the other hand, will not even be on the bench for Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia. That is because Flamengo’s No. 10 is still recovering from a calf muscle injury.

In the final stage of his recovery from a clavicle injury, Arrascaeta began training on the pitch with the Uruguay national team. According to information obtained by Coluna do Fla, La Celeste rushed the process with Gávea’s No. 10 and, as a result, ended up harming the player.

The expectation now is that Arrascaeta will be able to return for the third match of the World Cup group stage. The game will be against Spain, one of the favorites to win the World Cup this year.

What is Uruguay’s likely lineup?

Muslera; Guillermo Varela, Sebastián Cáceres, Mathías Olivera and Matías Viña; Ugarte, Rodrigo Bentancur, Federico Valverde and Federico Viñas; Maximiliano Araújo and Darwin Núñez.

And Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia are not coming into the World Cup in good form. That is because the Saudis have lost five of their last ten matches. For this reason, Uruguay come into the clash as favorites.

What is Saudi Arabia’s likely lineup?

Al-Aqidi; Abdulhamid, Al-Tambakti, Al-Amri and Kadesh; Al-Khaibari, Kanno and Al-Juwayr; Mandash, Al-Brikan and Al-Dawsari.

What group is Uruguay in at the World Cup?

Uruguay are in Group H of the 2026 World Cup. In addition to Varela, Arrascaeta and De La Cruz’s team, there are also three other sides: Saudi Arabia, Spain and Cape Verde.
