Inter Miami striker Luis Suárez has been selected to join the Uruguay national team for the upcoming 2024 Copa América tournament in the United States. Despite initial concerns about his ongoing knee issues, Suárez’s recent impressive performance with Miami has secured him a spot in the final 26-man roster announced by manager Marcelo Bielsa. The 37-year-old has scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 16 games, helping Inter Miami take the top spot in the Eastern Conference table. Suárez, a former star for Barcelona and Liverpool, has been a key player for Uruguay in the past, having won the Copa América in 2011 and holding the record for the most goals scored for the national team.
Joining Suárez in the Uruguay squad are notable players like Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez and Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde. Players like Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte and Tottenham Hotspur’s Rodrigo Bentancur also add depth to the team. However, veterans like Edinson Cavani and Matías Vecino are absent from the roster after retiring from international duty. Despite the absence of these experienced players, Uruguay will look to make a strong statement in the Copa América.
Suárez’s departure to join the national team will undoubtedly leave a significant void for Inter Miami in the upcoming matches. The team is set to miss out on not only Suárez but also other key players like Lionel Messi, Matías Rojas, and David Ruiz. This absence will affect their performance in crucial matches against teams like Philadelphia Union, Columbus Crew, Nashville SC, Charlotte FC, and FC Cincinnati. The loss of these star players will be felt by Inter Miami as they navigate through a challenging period without their key contributors.
Inter Miami will have to face tough opponents in the absence of their star players, with important matches lined up against various MLS teams. Meanwhile, the Copa América is set to kick off on June 20, with Uruguay facing Panama, hosts the United States, and Bolivia in the group stage matches. The tournament will run until July 14, with teams like Argentina and Canada also competing for the coveted title. As Suárez and his teammates gear up for the Copa América, Inter Miami will have to find ways to cope with the absence of their key players and strive for success in their upcoming matches.
