Two is the second fewest changes Uruguay have made between successive World Cup matches.

Los Teros made only one change in 1999 to the side that had beaten Spain and faced Scotland.

Agustín Ormaechea has been cleared to play against England following his red card (resulting from two yellows) against Fiji.

Ormaechea's was the first dismissal at the 2015 World Cup and the first by a Uruguay player in a World Cup match.

Alejo Corral will make his 50th Test appearance for Uruguay should he come on as a replacement.

Manuel Blengio is the only player in Uruguay's squad who has not yet played at World Cup 2015.
