Spain's group rivals Uruguay suffered a huge setback for the World Cup as they may not have Giorgian de Arrascaeta. Group H features a pair of World Cup champions ready to battle for first place. With Spain considered the favorite to advance as the group winner, Uruguay are expected to finish ahead of Saudi Arabia and Cape Verde. However, a new injury concern has emerged for Marcelo Bielsa‘s team. The player who may miss the World Cup entirely is Giorgian de Arrascaeta. His road to the tournament was already complicated after he suffered a fractured right collarbone while playing for Flamengo on April 29 in a Copa Libertadores match against Estudiantes. That injury was not expected to be a major issue because of the recovery time available, but a new problem has now appeared. During Tuesday’s training session with Uruguay, the midfielder left with calf pain and Uruguayan journalist Gonzalo Ronchi reported it could be a tear. If that diagnosis is confirmed, he would likely be replaced on the squad. Replacement candidates FIFA only requires federations to publicly announce their final 26-man squads. Teams were also required to submit provisional lists of up to 55 players beforehand, but those lists were not made public. However, reports from local media have provided clues about some of the players who were under consideration. 🚨 ATENCIÓN 🚨Se desgarró Giorgian de Arrascaeta y se pierde el Mundial con @Uruguay. Baja sensible para la celeste pic.twitter.com/59Eneg72gz— Gonzalo Ronchi (@GonzaloRonchi) June 2, 2026 Like several other national teams, Uruguay left some notable names out of the final roster, with a few experienced players surprisingly missing from the squad. One midfielder omitted by Bielsa was Lucas Torreira. While the Galatasaray player offers a different profile than de Arrascaeta, the coach could view him as an experienced alternative. Nahitan Nández was the most notable absence from the final squad and could become an option if Bielsa were to make a significant change in approach. Facundo Torres is another player who was believed to be close to making the team and could also be considered. The replacement deadline Even though the final 26-man squads have already been announced, changes can still be made under certain circumstances. FIFA’s regulations state: “A player in the final squad may only be replaced by a player from the provisional squad in the event of a serious injury or illness, no later than 24 hours before their team’s first match at World Cup 2026.” For Uruguay, that deadline falls on June 14.
Veteran striker Luis Suarez will miss the 2026 World Cup after being left off Marcelo Bielsa’s final 26-man Uruguay roster, which featured just three true forwards. Luis Suarez had recently floated the possibility of a return to the Uruguay national team and a place in the 2026 World Cup squad. But when Marcelo Bielsa finally unveiled his 26-man roster for North America, Suarez was not among the three forwards named, ending any lingering hope of a farewell on the world stage. On Sunday, May 31, the Uruguay Football Federation officially released its World Cup squad list. The group closely reflected the core that has represented the Celeste in recent months, though the exclusion of Nahitan Nandez, a regular in the side over the last several games, caught many off guard, with several players like Manuel Ugarte speaking out about the decision. Suarez’s absence, while perhaps anticipated by some, is nonetheless significant. The Inter Miami striker announced his retirement from international football in September 2024, playing his final game against Paraguay before publicly criticizing Bielsa and the atmosphere he felt the coach had created within the squad. Despite that falling out, Suarez had recently opened the door to reconsidering his retirement ahead of the 2026 tournament. Bielsa did not extend the invitation. With that, the 39-year-old will miss what would have been his fifth World Cup appearance in the blue shirt of Uruguay, a career that spanned the 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 editions and placed him second among Uruguay’s all-time World Cup scorers with seven goals, behind Oscar Miguez’s eight, and ahead of Diego Forlan’s six. 26 jugadores y el sueño de un pueblo celeste 🩵 pic.twitter.com/FeEavWWlD1— Selección Uruguaya (@Uruguay) May 31, 2026 Uruguay’s 2026 World Cup squad The 26 players that coach Marcelo Bielsa picked to represent Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup are the following: Goalkeepers: Fernando Muslera, Sergio Rochet, and Santiago Mele.Defenders: Ronald Araujo, Jose Maria Gimenez, Santiago Bueno, Sebastian Caceres, Mathias Olivera, Guillermo Varela, Matias Viña, Joaquin Piquerez, and Juan Manuel Sanabria.Midfielders: Federico Valverde, Rodrigo Bentancur, Manuel Ugarte, Emiliano Martinez, Rodrigo Zalazar, Giorgian De Arrascaeta, Nicolas De La Cruz, Agustin Canobbio, Maximiliano Araujo, Brian Rodriguez, and Facundo Pellistri,Forwards: Darwin Nuñez, Federico Viñas, and Rodrigo Aguirre. Only three forwards in Uruguay’s squad While Suarez’s absence was one of the more predictable outcomes given the circumstances, the overall composition of the squad raised eyebrows almost immediately. The breakdown of Bielsa’s 26 players consists of three goalkeepers, nine defenders, 11 midfielders and just three forwards. Uruguay’s roster for the 2026 World Cup. Darwin Nuñez, Federico Viñas and Rodrigo Aguirre are the only players listed as recognized center forwards on the roster, which only deepened questions about the decision to leave Suarez out. However, the thinking behind the lean forward count becomes clearer when you consider that players such as Agustin Canobbio, Facundo Pellistri and Maximiliano Araujo, while classified as midfielders, are all capable of operating in wider attacking roles, giving Bielsa functional depth in the attacking third without needing a dedicated fourth striker.
After the latest win over Al-Ahli, Al Nassr visit Al-Qadisiya, looking for a victory that brings them closer to the Saudi Pro League title. Given his major impact in front of goal, fans are closely watching Cristiano Ronaldo’s status for the match, as he is expected to be a difference-maker. Al Nassr have put together an impressive run of 16 consecutive victories, moving ever closer to the Saudi Pro League title. With this in mind, they visit Al-Qadisiya today, aiming to extend their strong streak with the attacking firepower that makes them the league’s top offensive team. To that end, fans are keeping a close eye on Cristiano Ronaldo’s status ahead of the game, as he is expected to be decisive. Cristiano Ronaldo has managed to avoid injuries and physical fatigue in recent matches, so he is in top condition. With this in mind, Al Nassr head coach Jorge Jesus will start him, as he is coming off a goal in the previous game and could do it again. Additionally, the Portuguese striker will be looking to close the gap on Julián Quiñones and Ivan Toney in the scoring charts. Coupled with the Portuguese veteran, Al Nassr will line up Joao Felix, aiming again for the imposing offensive duo that has dominated the league. After losing the last four encounters against Al-Qadisiya, they are set to impose their prowess, securing first place in the charts. For that reason, Iñigo Martinez and Mohamed Simakan will lead the defense again, looking to stop Julián Quiñones’ good form. While Al-Qadisiya are not competing to win the Saudi Pro League, they have been one of the league’s top teams. With their attacking firepower led by Julián Quiñones, they will look to defeat Al Nassr as they push to fight for third place in the standings. Additionally, they could take advantage of the large spaces left by head coach Jorge Jesus’s high press to secure a fifth consecutive victory. Cristiano Ronaldo of team Al Nassr FC after the Saudi Pro League game between Al Nassr and Al Ahli Al-Qadisiya lineup vs Al Nassr Al-Qadisiya enter the match against Al Nassr with four key absences: Waleed Al-Ahmad, Turki Al-Ammar, Mateo Retegui, and Julian Weigl due to injury. As a result, head coach Brendan Rodgers will expected to make significant changes to his starting lineup, as they have managed to shine offensively. However, they face the tough challenge of being consistent defensively, as Cristiano Ronaldo’s team is the best attacking side in the Saudi Pro League. Considering this, Al-Qadisiya will play as follows: Koen Casteels; Muhammad Abu al-Shamat, Jehad Thakri, Nacho Fernández, Gastón Álvarez; Musab Al-Juwayr, Nahitan Nández, Otavio, Christopher Bonsu Baah; Abdullah Al Salem, Julian Quiñones. Al Nassr lineup vs Al-Qadisiya Like Al-Qadisiya, Al Nassr enter today’s match with three absences: Raghid Alaa Najjar, Mubarak Buainain, and Sami Al-Najei. However, head coach Jorge Jesus still has his top players in peak condition, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix standing out the most. In addition, they have Kingsley Coman and Angelo, who can dominate with their pace. Despite this, they face the difficult task of stopping Julián Quiñones, who is in excellent goal-scoring form. With this in mind, Al Nassr will lineup as follows: Bento Krepski; Nawaf Boushal, Mohamed Simakan, Abdulelah Al-Amri, Iñigo Martinez; Marcelo Brozovic, Abdullah Alkhaibari; Kingsley Coman, Joao Felix, Angelo, Cristiano Ronaldo.
