Mexico v Uruguay Preview

In the absence of the injured Carlos Vela, Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez will start as part of Mexico manager Javier Aguirre’s three man attack.

Also absent for Mexico is defender Efrain Juarez, who is suspended. Juarez, who has been playing as a holding midfielder, is set to be replaced by Israel Castro.

Aguirre is unlikely to make any additional changes to his starting XI.

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez is also set to stick with the same starting side that beat South Africa 3-0 last time out. Nicolas Lodeiro returns after a one match ban, but the Ajax midfielder is likely to start on the bench.

Diego Forlan will again support striker Luis Suarez from a more withdrawn role as he did in their last World Cup group game.

KICK-OFF: TUESDAY JUNE 22nd 15:00 GMT
