Uruguay call on Suarez for Olympics

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was one of three over-age players included in the 18-man Uruguay squad for the Olympic Games that was announced on Monday. Coach Oscar Washington Tabarez has also named prolific Napoli striker Edinson Cavani and Palermo's Egidio Arevalo Rios as over-age players  in the squad that will compete in Group A alongside Great Britain, Senegal and the United Arab Emirates. Other familiar faces include Liverpool defender Sebastian Coates, Ajax midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro and Palermo attacker Abel Hernandez. Uruguay, who won last year's Copa America and finished fourth at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, will face the United Arab Emirates in their opening game on 26 July.
