Dealing with yet another injury in the build-up to the tournament, Jose Maria Gimenez would have a lot more caps for his country if it wasn’t for the Atletico Madrid centre-back being plagued by injuries throughout the last half a decade or so. The 31-year-old should still hit 100 caps for the two-time world champions in this summer’s group stage and he is the team captain for Marcelo Bielsa’s South Americans. He will be a key pillar in the back-line for the Uruguayans that will play their open and intense style implemented by Bielsa.
