Naitan Nandes, a regular starter during the qualifiers and an important part of Bielsa's system, is not among the invited players. His absence is the most notable detail of the Uruguayan roster, especially since the coach has remained faithful to the expected core of the team in most other lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, Luis Suarez is not on the list. Although his international career has long since entered its final chapter, every major tournament for Uruguay without one of the best strikers the country has ever had carries a special symbolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uruguay will rely on a generation led by Federico Valverde, Ronald Araujo, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Jim\u00e9nez, Manuel Ugarte, Rodrigo Bentancur and Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez at the World Cup. It is a group that combines experience, strength and Bielsa's idea of \u200b\u200bintense football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
