Team News
Luis Suarez has yet to serve his ban and he is definitely sidelined. In his absence PSG attacker Edinson Cavani will lead the line for the hosts against Chile.
Alvaro Gonzalez picked up an injury against Ecuador and he has joined Luis Suarez on the sidelines. Martin Caceres is doubtful and he will be monitored ahead of the kick-off.
Coach Oscar Tabarez has no other injury worries ahead of the game and he is unlikely to make too many changes to the team that faced Ecuador.
Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Muslera – M. Pereira, Coates, Godin, Caceres – Arevalo Rios, A. Pereira – Sanchez, Lodeiro, Hernandez – Cavani.

Team News
Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez is a major doubt and he will be assessed on the match day. Fabio Orellana is ready to step up should Sanchez fail to recover in time for the Uruguay game.
Coach Jorge Sampaoli is expected to switch to 4-3-3 formation, with Mark Gonzalez likely to be drafted into the starting line-up, meaning that Francisco Silva and Jean Beausejour should be dropped.
Eugenio Mena will return to the starting line-up to take his place on the left hand side, with Eduardo Vargas expected to start up front once again.
Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Bravo – Isla, Medel, Jara, Mena – Vidal, Diaz, Valdivia – Sanchez, Vargas, Gonzalez.
