Opponent of Brazilian team this Tuesday (17), in the qualifiers, Uruguay has almost the same number of athletes playing in Brazil as Canarinho.

Five Celeste athletes play in Brazilian football, one less than the yellow-green squad which has six: Lucas Perri (Botafogo), Adryelson (Botafogo), Guilherme Arana (Atlético-MG), André (Fluminense), Gerson (Flamengo) and Raffaello Veiga (Palmeiras).

Goalkeeper Rochet (Internacional), defender Bruno Méndez (Corinthians), left back Piquerez (Palmeiras), and midfielders Arrascaeta (Flamengo) and Canobbio (Athletico-PR), are the athletes who play in Brazil and were remembered by the coach Marcelo Bielsa, of the Uruguayan national team, for the FIFA dates in October.

Before facing Brazil, Uruguay drew 2-2 with Colombia, playing in Barranquilla. Of the ‘Brazilian Uruguayans’, only Piquerez was a starter. Arrascaeta enters in the second half. Rochet, Méndez and Canobbio only on the bench.

Among Brazil’s opponents in qualifying, the Uruguayans have the most athletes playing in Brazilian football, tied with Ecuador. Peru is the only country that does not have representatives playing in yellow-green territory.

In total, 31 players competing in this FIFA date period play in Brazil. Six for the Brazilian team and 26 representing other countries.

Palmeiras, with four, is the one that has delivered the most athletes to the teams on these FIFA dates. Leader of the Brasileirão, Botafogo arrives in sequence, with three, in addition to Athletico-PR, Flamengo, Internacional and Santos.

Finalist in the Libertadores, Fluminense has only one representative: midfielder André. However, coach Fernando Diniz, who commands the Brazilian team, combines his role with that of Influenza coach. The Italian team also recalled defender Nino, but the player suffered a sprained left knee in training on Saturday (13th) and suffered a cut, favoring the entry of another athlete who plays in Brazil: Adryelson, from Botafogo.
