Uruguay v Colombia team news

Uruguay team news

Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa will have to make changes to his defence as Ronald Araujo and Nahitan Nandez are unavailable.

Araujo sustained what will probably prove to be a tournament-ending leg injury in the first half, while Nandez was sent off in the second and is now suspended.

Guillermo Varela is likely to come in for Nandez and Atletico Madrid’s Jose Gimenez should take Araujo’s place.

Colombia team news

Colombia welcome back Jefferson Lerma from suspension and the Crystal Palace man is likely to replace Mateus Uribe in midfield.

Jhon Lucumi hasn’t played since coming off early on in the opening game, but Los Cafeteros boss Nestor Lorenzo has no fresh injury or suspension worries ahead of the semi-final tie.
