Team Overview
Two-time world champions Uruguay punch emphatically above their weight under the demanding tutelage of Marcelo Bielsa. La Celeste are blessed with a new generation of Premier League talent alongside the veteran nous of the Suárez era — and with Bielsa's relentless intensity, they are one of the most difficult sides in the tournament to beat.
