(includes the Ugarte call) Montevideo, 22 Mar Inter Milan midfielder Matias Vecino tested positive for covid-19 and will be out in the match that Uruguay will play against Peru this Thursday for the penultimate day of the South American qualifiers of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. This was reported on Tuesday by the Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), which highlighted that, due to this situation, the celestial coach, Diego Alonso, cited the local Liverpool midfielder Fabricio Díaz, born in Montevideo in February 2003. Later he also called the Portuguese Sporting midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who will arrive this Wednesday in Uruguay. Although the coach has not yet given any clues about the starting team, Vecino had great opportunities to be in the eleven, since he did so in one of the two matches led by the 'Tornado' and that in the next Rodrigo Bentancur will not be able to play due to accumulation of yellows. This Monday, the celestial squad trained in the afternoon under the orders of Alonso in what was the second of the four practices that the players will do before the first match. On Tuesday, the players will return to work in the afternoon. After two consecutive wins against Paraguay and Venezuela, Uruguay depends on itself to qualify, as it is currently fourth, with 22 points, one more than Peru and three more than its last opponent in the current series, Chile. If Celeste beats Peru this Thursday and Chile cannot defeat Brazil, Uruguay will seal its ticket to the World Cup that same day. CHIEF scr/cmm/car
