The Uruguayan National Team takes the field this Tuesday (09) as they face Chile at the Estadio Monumental in Santiago. Flamengo player Matías Viña is expected to be in the starting lineup chosen by coach Marcelo Bielsa for the match, which is part of the 18th round of the World Cup Qualifiers.
S. Rochet (Santiago Mele); Nahitan Nández, Ronald Araújo, Sebastián Cáceres, and Matías Viña; Valverde, Ugarte, and Bentancur; Oliveira, Darwin Núñez, and Brian Rodríguez.
Arrascaeta and Varela are no longer available to coach Marcelo Bielsa, as Uruguay has released both to return to Flamengo. However, the right-back has shown signs of pubalgia, and therefore, the Medical Department of Mengão will conduct a reevaluation this Wednesday (10).
Chile vs Uruguay will be broadcast live on SporTV 4, on cable TV. Additionally, as usual, Coluna do Fla, through social media and the website, will keep fans updated on all the details of the match involving the Flamengo player.
Already qualified for the World Cup, Uruguay concludes its participation in the Qualifiers aiming to win two consecutive matches, something that hasn't happened since 2023. For the match, Marcelo Bielsa will make changes to the lineup compared to the 3-0 victory over Peru.
On the other hand, Chile is out of the next World Cup. Thus, ‘La Roja’ uses the FIFA Date to test new players in the squad. Just like in the defeat to Brazil at the Maracanã, coach Nicolás Córdova relies on a young group and tries to end the Qualifiers by easing the crisis surrounding the Chilean National Team.
