Striker aims to put his experience to good use in South Africa
Sebastian Abreu is hoping to lend his experience to Uruguay's squad as he prepares to play in his second World Cup finals.
The 33-year-old was part of the Uruguay squad in the Far East in 2002 and is relishing the chance to feature in the tournament again.
The striker is feeling in good shape ahead of the start of the World Cup and admits he was not expecting another chance to appear in the competition.
"It's a very nice experience to be present at a second World Cup," said Abreu.
"I arrive in good shape for the World Cup with proper preparations prior to a competition of this importance.
"This trip is special because it's my second World Cup - something unthinkable at this point in my career.
"I have more experience and I will try to transmit that to the squad."
