Marcelo Bielsa Makes Captaincy Decision for Uruguay Friendly

Marcelo Bielsa has named his lineup for Uruguay's friendly against Uzbekistan, featuring Celtic star Marcelo Saracchi.

Saracchi, who was called up to the Uruguay squad for the first time since March 2025, was made captain for the game against the Dominican Republic.
