Ronald Araujo might be forced to sit out the contest with South Korea. Diego Godin is most likely to take his position because the Barcelona defender is recovering from a thigh operation. It’s likely that Fernando Muslera, the Blue and Black starting goalkeeper of choice for the past 13 years, won’t play. This is due to Sergio Rochet’s extensive appearance history under new Uruguayan manager Alonso.

When word of Son Heung-Min’s injury broke, South Korea was about to suffer a severe setback as his eye socket had fractured. Son Heung Min, though, said that he is prepared to play for his country anytime necessary. Another outstanding athlete for South Korea is Kim Min-Jae. With his performance for Napoli in the Champions League and Serie A, the defender is winning over everyone.

Luis Suarez-led side has a fairly strong lineup when compared to South Korea and can possess a threat from the forward line. Darwin Nunez is in good form along with Edinson Cavani with engine Federico Valverde in the middle, if they stop Heung Min Son the game will easily lie in their favor with a possible goal line of 1-0.
