Nicolas Lodeiro will have to miss out on the Rave Green friendly against Club Nexaca after being named to Uruguay’s 24-man World Cup Qualifying squad. Nico’s call-up was widely expected as he has been a regular with his national side but with the roster release it confirms it.
Uruguay sits in second with 23 points, four points behind Brazil and three ahead of Ecuador and Chile, through 12 of the 18 qualifiers. They face Brazil and Peru on the 23rd and 28th of March respectively, meaning the midfielder should not miss any competitive matches for Seattle.
