Nicolas Lodeiro not called into upcoming Uruguay matches

Nicolas Lodeiro was not called into the Uruguay national team for two upcoming World Cup qualifiers, it was announced on Friday. Uruguay is scheduled to play Chile on Oct. 8 and Ecuador on Oct. 13.

Lodeiro has been in and out of the Oscar Tabarez’s squad since joining the Sounders in 2016. Most recently, he was part of the 2019 Copa America squad that bowed out in the quarterfinals after winning their group. Lodeiro started all three of the group stage matches but did not play in the quarterfinal match, in which Uruguay was eliminated in a penalty shootout.
