Sebastián Cáceres was injured in Uruguay and had to make a substitution within a minute

Uruguay, who faced Venezuela with a large number of Australians, was a new minute into the game when Sebastián Cáceres suffered a muscle injury that forced him to leave the field.

The move was very tiring with a long ball, as he had to travel at maximum speed along the pelota track, but a short path had to be abruptly interrupted on the track. The player tended to leave the position in front of his pier and could not recover, as he was replaced as quickly as possible by Nicolás Marichal.

The American footballer, who played 19 games for the Celeste, played 90 minutes in front of Paraguay at the Estadio Centenario for fourth place and was converted into one of Marcelo Bielsa's preferred players after his loan to the Uruguayan selection.
