MONTEVIDEO, March 16 (Xinhua) -- Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has named uncapped winger Jonathan Urretaviscaya in his squad for this month's World Cup qualifiers against Brazil and Peru.
As expected, Barcelona forward Luis Suarez and Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani were also included in the 26-man squad.
Urretaviscaya has impressed Tabarez with his form for Mexico's Pachuca, with whom he has scored 13 times in 55 matches since his 2015 move from Penarol.
The 26-year-old's only previous international experience was with Uruguay's under-20 team.
The Celeste will host Brazil in Montevideo on March 23 before an away clash against Peru in Lima five days later.
The two-time World Cup winners will be without Suarez and goalkeeper Fernando Muslera for the match against Brazil due to suspension.
Tabarez's team is currently second in the CONMEBOL South American zone qualifying standings for the 2018 World Cup, four points behind leaders Brazil.
The top four teams at the end of the qualifying period will earn an automatic spot in the tournament in Russia while the fifth-ranked team will book a playoff place.
Uruguay squad:
Goalkeepers: Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray), Martin Silva (Vasco da Gama), Martin Campana (Independiente), Esteban Conde (Nacional).
Defenders: Maximiliano Pereira (Porto), Jose Maria Gimenez, Diego Godin (Atletico de Madrid), Sebastian Coates (Sporting de Lisboa), Gaston Silva (Granada), Alvaro Pereira (Cerro Porteno), Jorge Fucile (Nacional).
Midfielders: Giorgian De Arrascaeta (Cruzeiro), Mathias Corujo (San Lorenzo), Carlos Sanchez (Monterrey), Egidio Arevalo Rios (Chiapas), Matias Vecino (Fiorentina), Diego Laxalt (Genova), Alvaro Gonzalez (Nacional), Cristian Rodriguez (Penarol), Nicolas Lodeiro (Seattle Sounders).
Forwards: Luis Suarez (Barcelona), Edinson Cavani (PSG), Diego Rolan (Burdeos), Abel Hernandez (Hull City), Cristhian Stuani (Middlesbrough), Jonathan Urretaviscaya (Pachuca).

BEIJING, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Former U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry said here Saturday that concerted efforts of the international society are in dire need to save the world from an escalating possibility of "nuclear extinction."
Perry made the remarks in an interview with Xinhua after attending a seminar on the newly-released Chinese edition of his book "My Journey at the Nuclear Brink."
"Today the likelihood of a nuclear catastrophe is greater than it was during the Cold War," said Perry, noting the Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in January moved the symbolic "doomsday clock" to its closest time to midnight in 64 years.
"People all over the world, regardless of their nationality, should be interested in working to give future generation a chance to live their lives without fear of nuclear extinction," he said.
Perry said he had been awaken from a sound sleep by a telephone call at 3:00 a.m. some day in 1979. It was from a military general at the North American Aerospace Defense Command, who said his computers showed 200 missiles on the way from the Soviet Union to the United States.
It took Perry, the then under-secretary for research and engineering, several days to determine what he called an "human error of our system."
"When the computer operators changed shift, the new operator mistakenly put a training tape in the computer, which was designed to look like a realistic attack scenario," he recalled. "With all of its safety features, the system was still vulnerable to a single person erring, potentially bringing about the end of civilization."
Besides the high risk of an accidental nuclear war, the world has also faced with the threat of regional nuclear war and nuclear terror attack, which by no means are "a remote possibility" and could have "serious and long-lasting consequences around the world," Perry said.
Hailing China's commitment to the global denuclearization, the former U.S. defense chief said the country "for decades had set an example of restraint by maintaining only a minimum deterrent force."
"All the leading powers today are threatened to some degree by terrorism, and in the worst possible case by nuclear terrorism," said the leading U.S. expert on advanced weap. |
