Bielsa Drops Nunez: Uruguay Shakes Up Lineup
21 Jun
Summary
- Nunez benched after ineffective performance against Saudi Arabia.
- Forward has not scored in his last 14 appearances for Uruguay.
- Uruguay faces Cape Verde in a World Cup Group H match.

Uruguay's coach Marcelo Bielsa has made a significant lineup change for their World Cup Group H match against Cape Verde. Darwin Nunez has been dropped from the starting eleven.
This decision follows Nunez's disappointing performance during Uruguay's previous 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia. The forward was substituted at halftime after an ineffective showing where he managed only one shot on goal. His lack of scoring form is highlighted by his failure to find the net in his last 14 appearances for the national team.
