A list of 26 players announced this Friday the coach of the Uruguay national team, Óscar Washington Tabárez, with a view to the duels against Chile and Ecuador, for the first dates of the qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022.

On the “Maestro” list, the experienced Diego Godín and Luis Suárez stand out. In terms of absences, the case of Edinson Cavani stands out, who ended his time at PSG in France and is looking for a new club to continue his career.

And it is precisely because he is without a club that in his case no prior reservation is required by the national team, so Cavani could join the Tabarez regime and play against both Chile and Ecuador.

Who will be out at the start of the qualifying rounds to Qatar in the Uruguay team will be the immovable goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, who last June, playing for Galatasaray of Turkey, suffered a fracture of the tibia and fibula.

It should be remembered that Uruguay will debut in the qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup facing Chile in Montevideo, on October 8. Later, on the 13th of the same month, the “Celeste” will have to visit Ecuador in Quito.

The 26 nominees from Uruguay:

  • Goalkeepers: Rodrigo Muñoz (Cerro Porteño, Paraguay), Martín Silva (Libertad, Paraguay) and Martín Campaña (without club)
  • Defenders: Diego Godín (Inter, Italy), Sebastián Coates (Sporting Lisboa, Portugal), José María Giménez (Atlético Madrid, Spain), Ronald Araújo (Barcelona, ​​Spain), Martín Cáceres (Fiorentina, Spain), Damián Suárez (Getafe, Spain), Marcelo Saracchi (Galatasaray, Turkey), Matías Viña (Palmeiras, Brazil) and Diego Laxalt (Milan, Italy)
  • Midfielders: Mauro Arambarri (Getafe, Spain), Lucas Torreira (Arsenal, England), Federico Valverde (Real Madrid, Spain), Rodrigo Bentancur (Juventus, Italy), Nahitan Nández (Cagliar, Italy), Nicolás de la Cruz (River Plate , Argentina), Brian Rodríguez (Los Angeles FC, United States) and Giorgian de Arrascaeta (Flamengo, Brazil)
