Lucas Torreira is set to return to the Uruguay national team after a four-year absence. The Galatasaray defensive midfielder has been included in Diego Forlan’s 46-player preliminary squad for friendly matches against Japan, South Korea and India.

Torreira, 30, has won 40 caps for Uruguay. He received only one call-up during Marcelo Bielsa’s time as coach, but did not get on the field. He has not worn the Uruguay shirt since 2022.

Forlan took charge after the 2026 World Cup, replacing Bielsa, and has now included Torreira in his first expanded squad for the upcoming fixtures.
