Uruguay head coach Diego Alonso is licking his lips at the prospect of pairing up Darwin Nunez and Luis Suarez.
The Liverpool strikers from past and present will spearhead the two-time winners’ latest assault on the competition. With Edinson Cavani likely to act as understudy, the Sky Blues have plenty of options up front. And Alonso knows it.
He said: “With our strikers, our plan is to put a good performance together in the first game - we’re excited with what we can produce. They give us peace of mind. We have flexibility - but we also have goalscoring opportunities, not only with our strikers but also with other players. We’re good defensively, logically this will make us a very competitive team.”
