2022 World Cup: Ghana’s opponent Uruguay announce 55-man provisional squad

Published on: 21 October 2022

Uruguay coach Diego Alonso has announced 55-man provisional squad for the 2022 World Cup to be staged in Qatar.

The South American giants are in Group H and will face South Korea, Portugal and Ghana at the mundial.

The list includes Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo, who is a major doubt for the tournament after picking up injury during the September international break.

Luis Suarez, whose deliberate handball prevented Ghana from reaching the tournament's semi-finals in 2010, is in the squad, as are Edison Cavani, Diego Godin, Fernando Muslera and Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde, who is in top form.

Uruguay are the first team in Group H to announce their preliminary squad, with Ghana, Portugal, and South Korea also expected to do so on Friday.

Ghana and Uruguay will meet on December 2 in a rematch of their 2010 quarter-final match in South Africa, which the South Americans won, albeit controversially, on penalties.
