Uruguay manager Diego Forlán called up a pre-list for the Uruguay national team for the team's upcoming commitments. The list includes player Zalazar, Maxi Araújo, and also a goalkeeper who plays for Arouca, a Portuguese club in the Primeira Liga.
Uruguay will play three games between September and October, in a schedule that includes friendly matches and possible qualification matches for international competitions. This pre-call-up allows Forlán to evaluate players before defining the final list.
Zalazar and Maxi Araújo have been important figures in European football, which explains their inclusion in this provisional call-up. The Arouca goalkeeper appears as one of the surprises on the list, demonstrating the attention Forlán dedicates to Portuguese football.
The pre-call-up is not yet definitive and may undergo changes until the official confirmation of the players who will be part of the group that will travel for the September and October matches.
