Вероятный состав сборной Уругвая на дебютный матч ЧМ-2026: Бильса пробует Нуньеса и Виньяса в паре нападающих
Sent to Playa del Carmen, Mexico On Thursday, Uruguay held its second training session in Playa del Carmen in preparation for its 2026 World Cup debut next Monday, when it faces Saudi Arabia (7:00 p.m.) at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The lineup changes made by Marcelo Bielsa offered clues about the likely starting eleven, which could feature a “double 9” formation with Darwin Núñez and Federico Viñas. Once again, 15 minutes of the training session were open to the press, and during that time, it was evident that the coaching staff had divided the squad into two groups: while one group worked out first in the gym and then moved to the field, the other waited nearby. It is precisely this second group that is presumed to have later taken the field to perform tactical drills. That second group included the probable starting lineup for La Celeste in their opener against the Asian side and would feature Fernando Muslera; Guillermo Varela, Sebastián Cáceres, Mathías Olivera, Matías Viña; Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte, Rodrigo Bentancur, Maximiliano Araújo; Federico Viñas and Darwin Núñez. This lineup would not only mean the inclusion of the River Plate player at left back, but also the possibility that Bielsa might change his formation, moving from a 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2, even though the players could adapt to the former system given their characteristics. ..
