Pellistri has been restricted to minimal minutes this season.

But that hasn't stopped him from being called up by Uruguay coach Diego Alonso.

He will be joined by Manchester United teammate Edinson Cavani.

Uruguay will play World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay (A) and Venezuela (H) on January 27 and February 1 respectively.
