DFThe centre-back was the only player left out of the squad Diego Forlán put together for Monday's game. Different Uruguayan media outlets, citing sources from the Federation, said that Cáceres was not available due to injury.
The Uruguayan Football Association has not released a medical report or provided details about the player's condition. The country's sports press points out that the defender «is in the treatment room», although for now it remains unknown both the extent of his discomfort and a possible recovery timetable. It has also not emerged that he will leave the camp.
Cáceres had already been left without minutes in Uruguay's previous friendly, played on Thursday against Japan, although at that time he was included in the squad and was on the bench.
Uruguay still has one final match to play in this international window. It will be next Tuesday against India in Calcutta, a game for which we will have to wait to learn the status of the centre-back.
The setback comes after Cáceres had recently gained prominence with the Celta. Brought in as the club's last signing of the summer transfer window, the defender started in the team's two most recent matches: he made his debut against Málaga and then repeated in the starting XI against Racing de Santander at Balaídos.
