Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has stuck with the side that beat England 2-0 for the World Cup Group D showdown against Italy at the Dunas arena on Tuesday.
Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani will lead the attack and Tabarez has resisted the temptation to bring defender Maxi Pereira back into the team after he served a one-match ban for a red card in the defeat by Costa Rica.
Uruguay’s regular skipper and central defender Diego Lugano also misses out because of a knee injury.
