GOOD EVENING FROM BRASILIA
Welcome to our live coverage of the Copa America quarter-final clash between Uruguay and Colombia at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia
The two nations are set to lock horns for a place in the esteemed South American competition’s semi-finals, in what promises to be an exciting encounter.
Uruguay captain Diego Godin was abruptly brought off at half time against Paraguay last time out but has returned to training with the rest of the squad.
That works as a major boost for manager Oscar Tabarez, who looks set to start Godin next to former Atletico Madrid team-mate Jose Gimenez at centre-back.
Atletico superstar Luis Suarez and Manchester United ace Edinson Cavani are also likely to team up in attack whereas Juventus midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur could link up with Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde in midfield.
Colombia manager Reinaldo Rueda, on the other hand, has made a series of changes in attack throughout the tournament as the likes of Duvan Zapata, Luis Muriel and Rafael Borre have all failed to find the net.
However, Rueda is most likely to continue the centre-back partnership between Everton ace Yerry Mina and Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez at the back.
David Ospina will start in goal with Juan Cuadrado running Colombia’s attacks down the wings
