Despite an underwhelming season with Real MadridFederico Valverde remains one of Uruguay's most integral players.

He is certainly a man for the big occasion and is part of his nation's leadership group.

If Uruguay are to have a successful tournament, he will need to produce the numbers alongside goal-threat Darwin Núñez.

For Saudi Arabia, defender Saud Abdulhamid was part of the Lens squad that won the French Cup last season, while also pushing PSG all the way in the Ligue 1 title race.

The 26-year-old played every minute of Saudi Arabia's 2022 World Cup™ campaign so will undoubtedly remain one of the first names on the teamsheet alongside captain Mohamed Kanno.
