Manchester United duo Edinson Cavani and Facundo Pellistri have been named in the Uruguay squad for the upcoming 202 World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Chile.
Cavani, who is expected to leave United at the end of the season, has been included in the squad despite missing lots of football in the last few months.
United loanee Pellistri has made 20 appearances for Alaves this season and he recently shined whilst playing for his country.
