Valverde called up for Uruguay friendlies and could debut under Forlán

Real Madrid midfielder Valverde called up for Uruguay's November friendlies against Argentina and Dominican Republic under interim coach Diego Forlán.

Federico Valverde has been included in Uruguay's 28-player squad for international friendlies in November, giving the Real Madrid midfielder a chance to make his debut under interim coach Diego Forlán. Valverde missed the previous three matches under Forlán due to injury sustained while playing for Real Madrid.

Uruguay will face Argentina on November 13 at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires, followed by a match against Dominican Republic four days later at Estadio Domingo Burgueño Miguel in Maldonado. The squad also includes Ronald Araujo, José María Giménez, Rodrigo Bentancur, Darwin Núñez and Giorgian de Arrascaeta. Notable inclusions are goalkeeper Sebastián Jaume from local club Albion and Philadelphia Union forward Bruno Damiani.
