Luis Suárez may return to the Uruguay national team in September after two years away. The forward, who left the Celeste in 2024 after the Copa América, is in Forlán's sights for friendlies against Japan and South Korea. According to journalist Sebastián Giovanelli, the 'Pistolero' could be in the squad for those matches, which will be held in Asia. His last game with Uruguay was on September 6, 2024, in a 0-0 draw against Paraguay.
Return After Two Years
Suárez's return would mark his first participation with the national team since 2024, when he left after differences with Marcelo Bielsa. Now, with Forlán as coach, his experience and goal-scoring ability (69 goals in 143 matches) could be crucial for Uruguay. At 39 years old, the striker continues to show his level, making him one of the historical references for the Celeste.
MLS Statistics
In the MLS, Suárez has scored 10 goals and made three assists in 16 matches with Inter Miami during the 2026 season. His performance in the U.S. league keeps him as Uruguay's top scorer, a record that could remain intact. The possibility of his return to the national team adds to his performance in the league, where he continues to be an offensive reference.
