Midfielder Walter Gargano is set to miss out but striker Luis Suarez will be back from suspension. However, star man Diego Forlan picked up an injury against the Netherlands and there are some doubts on his fitness. Centre-back Diego Lugano will start in defence, meaning that Diego Godin will be on the bench.
Probable Line-up (4-2-3-1): Muslera, M. Pereira, Victorino, Lugano, Caceres; D. Perez, Arevalo; A. Fernandez, Forlan, Cavani; Suarez Gargano, A. Pereira; Forlan, Cavani
Germany
Striker Miroslav Klose picked up a back injury in Germany's defeat to Spain and there are suggestions that he won't be able to start against Uruguay. Assistant coach Hansi Flick also hinted that midfielders Sami Khedira and Mesut Oezil too have problems. Marcell Jansen is also likely to start at left-back ahead of Jerome Boateng. Thomas Mueller will be back from suspension and will replace Piotr Trochowski in midfield.
Probable Line-up (4-2-3-1): Neuer, Lahm, Friedrich, Mertesacker, Jansen; Khedira, Schweinsteiger; Mueller, Oezil, Podolski; Klose

The Ajax striker missed the semifinal against the Netherlands due to suspension as he was sent off against Ghana in the quarterfinals. However, Suarez will start against Germany in the third place playoff and will be the Uruguayans' main threat.
Diego Forlan could miss out as he is reportedly struggling with an injury and this means that Suarez will have to shoulder most of the burden of scoring goals. The 23-year-old has netted the ball thrice in the competition and he still does have a chance of winning the Golden Boot.

The Bayern Munich youngster missed the semifinal clash with Spain because of suspension and one of Germany's reasons for failure against the Iberians was his absence. However, Mueller is set to return against Uruguay on Saturday evening and will be eying the Golden Boot award.
Mueller is Germany's joint-top goalscorer in the World Cup with four goals, just one behind the tournament's top scorer - Spain's David Villa - and with Miroslav Klose struggling for fitness, the 20-year-old will be Germany's main goal-threat against the South Americans.
