MILAN - A weekend of international football is fast-approaching and the Nerazzurri will have 5 players in action. On Saturday 2 June 2012, Diego Forlan's Uruguay will meet Venezuela at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo (kick-off 15:00 local time). More than 45,000 tickets have already been sold for a game which is thought to be crucial in qualifying for Brazil 2014. The 'Celeste' are tied on 7 points with their opponents but have a game in hand, and they will look to record back-to-back home wins as they also welcome Peru to the Uruguayan capital, on 10 June.
