Suárez's recent injury problems

Uruguay face Hungary in Budapest on Friday before taking on Argentina in Israel three days later.

The full Uruguay squad:

Martín Campana (Independiente), Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray); Sebastián Coates (Sporting CP), Diego Godín (Inter), Giovanni González (Penarol), Diego Laxalt (Torino), Bruno Méndez (Corinthians), Gastón Silva (Independiente), Mathías Suárez (Montpellier), Matías Vina (Nacional); Rodrigo Bentancur (Juventus), Brian Lozano (Santos Laguna), Nahitan Nández (Cagliari), Lucas Torreira (Arsenal), Federico Valverde (Real Madrid), Matías Vecino (Inter); Edinson Cavani (PSG), Maxi Gómez (Valencia), Brian Rodríguez (Los Angeles FC), Jonathan Rodríguez (Cruz Azul), Cristhian Stuani (Girona), Luis Suárez (Barcelona).
