Uruguay’s national team manager, Marcelo Bielsa, has announced his 26-man roster for the upcoming 2024 Copa América, and it includes star striker Luis Suárez. Despite concerns about Suárez’s knee issues, his recent impressive performances with Inter Miami have earned him a spot on the team. Suárez, who has scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 16 games for the MLS team, is expected to play a crucial role in Uruguay’s quest for success in the tournament.
Apart from Suárez, the Uruguay national team also boasts talents like Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez and Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde. These players, along with Suárez, will be pivotal in Uruguay’s campaign to clinch the Copa América title. The team will be facing tough competition in the group stage, including matches against Panama, the United States, and Bolivia.
Notable Absences from the Squad
Veterans like Edinson Cavani and Matías Vecino will not be part of the Uruguay squad, having recently retired from international duty. Their absence will be felt, but the team will look to the younger generation of players to step up and make an impact in the tournament.
Suárez’s departure to join the national team will undoubtedly affect Inter Miami, as they are set to lose several key players for upcoming matches. Missing players like Suárez, Lionel Messi, Matías Rojas, and David Ruiz will be a significant blow for the team in their upcoming MLS fixtures.
With Suárez and other players away on international duty, Inter Miami will have to navigate through a series of important MLS matches without some of their key figures. The team will face tough opponents like Philadelphia Union, Columbus Crew, and Nashville SC in the upcoming weeks. However, the Copa América will kick off on June 20, providing an opportunity for the players to showcase their skills on the international stage. Argentina will face Canada in the inaugural match, setting the tone for what promises to be an exciting tournament.
