Team news
The hosts will enter this match without a crucial player in their starting XI: Luis Suárez. Barcelona's striker will not be around for this game due to an untimely one-match ban, which will prevent him from facing Neymar. Coach Oscar Tabarez will also have to deal with Fernando Muslera's absence, leaving Martin Campaña and Martín Silva with the duties between the sticks.
On the other side of the pitch, coach Tite is expected to present a similar lineup to the one that beat Perú in the final game of 2016. The only absence for the Verdeamarelha side will be that of Gabriel Jesus, who is recovering from a surgery. The good news for the Brazilian coach will be Casemiro's return to the starting lineup.
