As expected, the excellent faces who are in good form were all selected by coach Oscar Tabarez for the 2018 World Cup campaign taking place in Russia this summer. The mission of bringing Uruguay to the championship was put on the shoulders of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani.
In addition to the two names above, basically, the squad that Uruguay brought to Russia is highly appreciated because of the presence of many big names such as Diego Godin, Jose Gimenez (Atletico), Mattia Vecino ( Inter Milan), Rodrigo Bentancur (Juventus).
In the new official list of 23 players announced by coach Oscar Tabarez, there are 11 players who participated in the 2014 VCK World Cup: Muslera, Martin Silva, Godin, Gimenez, Coates, Maxi Pereira, Caceres, Cristian Rodriguez, Suarez, Stuani and Cavani.
Of the 11 players above, 7 have attended the 2010 VCK World Cup in South Africa: Muslera, Martin Silva, Godin, Maxi Pereira, Caceres, Suarez and Cavani.
With the current force, Uruguay is considered one of the strongest teams at the 2018 World Cup. The Suarez - Cavani duo will certainly scare many of their defenses. But above all, Uruguay with an even squad of all 3 lines is ready to explode at the 2018 World Cup.
According to the schedule, after finalizing the squad, the Uruguayan team will have a friendly match with Uzbekistan on June 7. This is also Uruguay's only friendly match in the warm-up process before the 2018 VCK World Cup.
At the 2018 VCK World Cup, Uruguay is in Group A with Egypt, Saudi Arabia and host Russia. According to the schedule, Oscar Tabarez and his team will play the opening match against Egypt on June 15.
