Canobbio and Sanabria, the new faces in Uruguay's lineup against Cape Verde

Uruguay's national football team will feature a modified starting lineup for their upcoming match against Cape Verde, with winger Agustín Canobbio and full-back Juan Manuel Sanabria being the notable inclusions. Coach Marcelo Bielsa has opted to bring these two players into the starting eleven, replacing Matías Viña and Darwin Núñez, who were part of the team's debut game. These changes were anticipated, as both Canobbio and Sanabria had been training regularly with the likely starters throughout the week. Viña and Núñez were substituted at halftime during Uruguay's previous match against Saudi Arabia, which they were trailing 1-0 at the time before managing to secure an equalizer in the second half. The Uruguayan lineup against Cape Verde is set to be: Fernando Muslera in goal; Guillermo Varela, Sebastián Cáceres, Mathías Olivera, and Juan Manuel Sanabria in defense; Manuel Ugarte and Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield; Federico Valverde, Agustín Canobbio, and Maxi Araújo in attacking midfield roles; and Federico Viñas leading the attack. Meanwhile, Cape Verde's coach, Pedro Leitao Brito ‘Bubista’, is expected to make only three changes from their opening match against Spain. While the central defenders will remain the same, the attack is where most of the adjustments are anticipated. Cape Verde's probable starting eleven includes Vozinha; Moreira, Pico Lopes, Diney Borges, Sidny Cabral; Kevin Pina, Telmo Arcanjo, Jamiro Monteiro; Garry Rodrigues, Ryan Mendes, and Gilson Benmichol. The match is scheduled to take place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami at 6:00 p.m. local time, which is 10:00 p.m. GMT. This will be Uruguay's second consecutive game at this venue.
