Already qualified for the World Cup with one round to spare, Uruguay took the luxury of rotating its squad this Tuesday (09), against Chile, in the last round of the World Cup Qualifiers. Thus, Matías Viña, who was on the bench against Peru, will get a chance starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago.
Santiago Mele; Nahitan Nández, Ronald Araújo, Sebastián Cáceres, and Matías Viña; Valverde, Ugarte, and Bentancur; Oliveira, Darwin Núñez, and Brian Rodríguez.
The other two Flamengo players, Giorgian de Arrascaeta and Guillermo Varela, were released and did not even travel to Chile. The full-back, in fact, is suffering from pubalgia and is doubtful for Mengão's next match, on Sunday (14), against Juventude. Another Uruguayan in the squad, Nico de la Cruz, was not called up by Marcelo Bielsa due to recent injuries.
While Uruguay plays without pressure, already qualified for the World Cup, Chile is trying to minimize its poor campaign in the World Cup Qualifiers. With ten points, the team is at the bottom of the table and is trying to move up from last place. To do so, they need to beat La Celeste and hope for a slip by Peru against Paraguay.
In summary, Chile vs Uruguay will be broadcast on the pay TV channel SporTV 4. For the fan who is not familiar, the channel appears on the same numbers as Premiere on pay TV. It is available especially during the World Cup Qualifiers. As soon as the match ends in Santiago, Coluna do Fla will bring a summary of the match, highlighting Viña's performance in the game.
In addition to Viña, three other Flamengo players could take the field today. Samuel Lino will start for Brazil against Uruguay, Gonzalo Plata will get minutes in Ecuador vs Argentina, and Jorge Carrascal could start in Venezuela vs Colombia. So, stay tuned to Coluna, as we will bring you all these updates.
