Uruguay announced this Tuesday (02) the squad numbers for the World Cup. The team’s star, Arrascaeta, of Flamengo, is the owner of the number 10 shirt. Besides the midfielder, three other players under contract with Mengão are with La Celeste: De La Cruz, who will wear number 7; Varela, owner of number 13; and loanee Viña, who will wear number 17.

Two players managed to keep the same numbers they use at Flamengo. Wearing number 10 for the Rubro-Negro, Arrascaeta will have the same number for Uruguay. Left back Viña also wears 17, the same number he used at Mengão before being loaned to River Plate (ARG).
On the other hand, De La Cruz and Varela were not as lucky. Wearing number 18 at Flamengo, Nico will wear number 7 for Uruguay, a number he has used in recent years with La Celeste. Finally, Guillermo Varela, number 2 for the Most Beloved, will wear 13 for the national team.
This Tuesday (02), news worried Flamengo fans and especially Uruguayans. During training, Arrascaeta felt pain in his calf and became a doubt for the World Cup. Some journalists in the neighboring country have already reported that the player will be cut, but there is still no official statement from the federation on the matter.
In Group H, Uruguay will make its World Cup debut on June 15 against Saudi Arabia. After that, the opponent will be Cape Verde on 21/06. Finally, theoretically the toughest clash, against one of the favorites, Spain.
