Uruguay boss Diego Alonso has dismissed suggestions his players will target Heung-min Son's vulnerability around his face.

"It is difficult to answer your question," he said in a pre-match press conference.

"The question is about Son and we have utmost respect for Son, but they have other footballers and are very well coached with an exceptional starting XI.

"The only advantage we will make here is our football. We will try to be better than them and use our players, not to use the difficulties of the other team."

Uruguay have won both previous encounters against South Korea in the 1990 group stages in the round of 16 of the 2010 tournament after a brace from Luis Suarez.

The South Americans have a very experienced looking lineup with the likes of Suarez, Godin and Gimenez.

There looks to be a diamond midfield, which includes Manchester United's Pellestri, and Liverpool forward Nunez is preferred to Cavani.

Skipper Son Heung-min starts despite wearing a mask after facial surgery.

The Tottenham forward had an operation earlier this month after suffering fractures around his left eye in a collision during a Champions League match.
