El Caníbal (The Cannibal) has been one of the biggest revelations of the past year in Italian Serie A as he scored five goals in 17 matches with the Rosanero last season. The Uruguayan U-20 star started the season where he left off scoring two goals in his four matches so far.

Another player who earned his spot on the national team is Sebastián Abreu who made his grandiose return to River Plate with a brace against Uruguayan side Defensor Sporting in the second round of the Copa Sudamericana.
