Uruguay arrive in the group stage finale of Qatar 2022 in a tough spot. In the wake of their defeat to Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal, La Celeste have no margin for error in the FIFA World Cup.

Diego Alonso, who received a lot of praise for righting the ship on time in the final rounds of the South American qualifiers, is now under pressure to get his team into the next round.

Therefore, the manager has made big changes to face Ghana, as his team needs to claim all three points to qualify for the next round. Fernando Muslera, however, remains on the bench.

Why is Fernando Muslera not starting for Uruguay against Ghana

Fernando Muslera is not starting for Uruguay against Ghana because Alonso continues to choose Sergio Rochet over him. Not only has the Nacional goalkeeper been La Celeste's first choice since Alonso took over, but he's also seven years younger than Muslera (36).
