On July 12, Beijing time, due to the riots after the semifinals of the Copa America, 11 Uruguay players including Nunez have been brought into disciplinary proceedings. Uruguay has until the 17th of this month to respond to the investigation and provide evidence to mitigate possible sanctions.

The 11 Uruguay players are:Nunez, Gimenez, Melle, Viña, Matthias Oliveira, Pellistri, Araujo, Brian Rodriguez, Emiliano Martinez, Bentancur, Cáceres.With the deadline for responses coming next week, the players will be able to play in the Copa America three or four Uruguay vs. Canada, but they could be banned for the World Cup in September.

In the previously concluded Copa America semifinals, Uruguay lost 0-1 to Colombia after playing one more player for a long time and missed the final. After the game, some drunk Colombia fans attacked the stands of Uruguay fans and the families of the players, causing a huge riot.

And in order to protect their families, several Uruguay players clashed fiercely with Colombia fans. Among them, Nunez, the Liverpool goalscorer who rushed to the front, staged a violent "hammer" with the opponent fans in the stands.

At present, in the South American World Qualifiers, Uruguay has performed well, with 6 games, 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 13 points, ranking second behind Argentina. And if a number of internationals are banned, it will obviously have an impact on Uruguay's breakthrough in the South American World Qualifiers. In the South American qualifiers in September, Uruguay will first face Uruguay away before returning home to face Venezuela.
