Take third place in the Copa AmericaUruguay and Canada face off this Saturday (13), at 9pm (Brasilia time), in North Carolina. Without being in the top four of the tournament since 2011, the year they won the title, the Uruguayans are looking for a consolation “prize” against the Canadian “surprise”, which ended up succumbing to Argentina in the semi-final.
For this match, Uruguay will not have midfielder De La Cruz. The player of Flemish is suspended due to card accumulation. Reported due to confusion during the match against Colombia, Darwin Núñez and Giménez are at risk of being sanctioned before the match.
The probable composition of Uruguay appears with: Sérgio Rochet; Nahitan Nández, José María Giménez, Mathías Olivera, Matías Viña; Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte, Giorgian de Arrascaeta; Facundo Pellistri, Darwin Nuñez and Maximiliano Araújo.
On the Canadian side, coach Jesse Marsch will have no major problems and should repeat the team that ended up losing to Argentina by a score of 2-0.
The last time the two teams met was in September 2022, in an international friendly match in Bratislava, Slovakia. On that occasion, Celeste won by a score of 2–0 and Darwin Núñez scored the goals of the match.
