The USMNT understands the importance of their upcoming clash with Uruguay as their Copa America campaign hangs in the balance.
After a disappointing loss to Panama, the USMNT must secure a win against Uruguay to stay alive in the tournament or risk an early group-stage exit.
While it is still feasible for the U.S. to advance without beating Uruguay, it would depend on other results going their way, which is unlikely. Therefore, the USA needs to win to control their fate.
Head coach Gregg Berhalter faces key decisions that could determine the team’s tournament future.
Predicted Lineups, Team News for USA vs. Uruguay
Tim Weah received a suspension for two matches after his red card against Panama, leaving a gap in the team lineup. Options for his replacement include Gio Reyna shifting to the wing, or introducing Haji Wright or Josh Sargent. If Wright comes in, it could lead to Christian Pulisic moving to the right flank.
The key concern for the United States is the status of goalkeeper Matt Turner, who sustained an injury in the previous game. There are uncertainties surrounding his availability for the upcoming match.
Berhalter may opt to include Yunus Musah in midfield for the first time in the tournament, which could require tactical adjustments.
If Chris Richards is replaced at center-back, Miles Robinson is a probable candidate to step in.
Predicted USA XI (4-3-3): Horvath (GK) — Scally, Richards, Ream, A. Robinson — Reyna, Musah, McKennie — Pulisic, Balogun, Wright.
Injured: Matt Turner (leg, doubtful)
Suspended: Tim Weah (red card)
Yellow cards: Chris Richards, Antonee Robinson, Weston McKennie.
Uruguay is on the brink of securing a spot in the quarterfinals, and they might rotate their squad against the US to maintain freshness for the knockout rounds.
Star striker Darwin Nunez has been a notable performer for Uruguay, while the experienced Luis Suarez could feature in the lineup.
No Uruguay player has received a yellow card so far in the tournament.
Predicted Uruguay XI (4-2-3-1): Rochet (GK) — Nandez, Gimenez, Olivera, Vina — Valverde, Betancur — Pellistri, Arrascaeta, M. Araujo — Suarez.
