Inter playmaker Álvaro Recoba suffered an slight hamstring strain in practice yesterday and is doubtful against Peru tomorrow.
The first big absence of the Copa América could be a huge blow to the Celestes’ pretensions for a 15th Copa América title. The player still thinks that he could be a go, but coach Oscar Washington Tabarez looks at Sebastián Abreu, Fabián Estoyanoff, and Gonzalo Vargas as possible replacements.
“We will analyze the situation and make a decision in due time. We need to look at the severity of the injury as well in order to make the appropriate decision.”
Recoba could be a huge absence on the left side and in set pieces as his pace and deadly accuracy in freekicks could make a difference on the pitch for the Uruguayans.
