Reds duo picked for Uruguay

9th Jul 2012 - Latest News

Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates have been included in the 18-man Uruguay squad for the forthcoming 2012 Olympic Games.

The Liverpool duo will face Stuart Pearce's Team GB at the London Games as well as the United Arab Emirates and Senegal in Group A.

Reds striker Suarez has been selected as one of the squad's three designated over-age players along with Arevalo Rios and Napoli forward Edinson Cavani.

Oscar Tabarez's side have been heavily-tipped as favourites to win the competition after Uruguay finished runners-up at the 2011 South American Under-20 Championship and were crowned Copa America champions in the same year.
