Though we've yet to see what Brian Rodríguez can do in Black & Gold. On Friday, we found out Uruguay thinks he has a bright future with La Celeste.
Rodríguez is part of a squad of 24 players called in by Óscar Tabárez for friendlies against Costa Rica (Sept. 6) and the U.S. (Sept. 10). It is first senior-level call up for the 19-year-old.
A breakout star at the U20 World Cup, the recently signed LAFC Designated Player will join a strong attack with the likes of Edinson Cavani and Luis Suárez. Rodríguez won't be the only MLS player on the squad, Seattle's Nico Lodeiro was also selected.
Por primera vez, @Brodriguez_16 fue reservado a la selección mayor de @Uruguay.
