The Uruguay national team faces England this Friday (27), in London, with an eye on the World Cup. Coach Marcelo Bielsa has therefore outlined the ‘Celeste’ lineup with two Flamengo players.
Rochet, Varela, Ronald Araujo, Mathias Olivera and Joaquin Piquerez; Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte and Arrascaeta; Facundo Pellistri, Maximiliano Araujo and Darwin Nuñez.
Arrascaeta and Varela are expected to start for Uruguay against England. Both players were fully part of the pre-World Cup cycle and are once again available to coach Marcelo Bielsa during the FIFA international window.
Another Flamengo player has also been called up for Uruguay’s upcoming matches. It is De La Cruz. The midfielder, however, is expected to start the match against England on the bench.
As mentioned, Uruguay faces England this Friday (27) starting at 4:45 PM (Brasília time), in a friendly as preparation for the World Cup. In addition, the ‘Celeste’ will also take the field on March 31.
That is because Uruguay is scheduled to face Algeria’s national team at 3:30 PM (Brasília time). In other words, Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Varela will remain available to the ‘Celeste’ until March 31, with their return to Flamengo scheduled for April 1.
