Typhoon leaves Uruguay squad stranded before Japan friendly

Only three Uruguay players have arrived in Japan for the 24 September friendly against Japan in Miyagi, with the rest of the squad delayed by Typhoon No. 25. Coach Diego Forlán arrived early, but the bulk of the team is still abroad.

What it means

• Only 3 Uruguay players are currently in Japan for the Japan friendly on 24 September in Miyagi.
• Typhoon No. 25 disrupted travel; Japan also cancelled their 21 September open training.
• Coach Diego Forlán is already in Japan, but most of the squad is not.

Model read

Uruguay face a major preparation and travel handicap, arriving with almost no squad and little time to train together, which notably favours Japan in this friendly.
