His South Korean counterpart, Huh Jung-Moo, called up Kim Jae-Sung in midfield in place of attacking midfielder Yeom Ki-Hun.

The two sides are meeting for only the second time on the World Cup stage, with Uruguay snatching a late goal to prevail 1-0 in a first round match in Italy in 1990.

Two-time former champions Uruguay made it to this stage of the competition as Group A winners after an opening goalless draw with France, a 3-0 win over hosts South Africa and a closing 1-0 defeat of Mexico.

South Korea, semi-finalists on home turf in 2002, have made it to the second round for the first time on foreign soil as Group B runners-up.

They opened with a 2-0 defeat of Euro 2004 champions Greece in Port Elizabeth, before a 4-1 wipe out by Argentina and secured their qualification with a 2-2 draw with Nigeria.

The winner of this match will go on to face either the United States or Ghana in the quarter-finals in Johannesburg on July 2.
