India set for historic clash against Uruguay
India and Uruguay have met twice on the international football stage, with La Celeste maintaining a 2-0 lead. Both sides first met at the Nehru Cup in 1982, where India suffered a 1-3 defeat at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. The second meeting was in 2001 when India lost 3-0 to Uruguay’s B-team at the Millennium Super Soccer Cup in Kochi.
Uruguay, however, will be without their captain Federico Valverde, as the Real Madrid star has been ruled out with a left-ankle injury. But La Celeste still maintain a side featuring world-class players such as Darwin Nunez, Ronald Araujo, Lucas Torreira and Rodrigo Bentancur.
