Mario Suarez in, Xabi Alonso out

Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso has been withdrawn from the Spanish national team squad to face Uruguay.

La Roja play the South American champions in Doha on Wednesday, but the 31-year-old will miss the game after feeling some discomfort in his groin after Los Blancos' 1-0 loss to Granada on Saturday.

Atletico Madrid man Mario Suarez has been called up in his place, and could make his debut were he to get on in Qatar.
