MONTEVIDEO (Reuters) - The disgraced Luis Suarez and ageing veterans Diego Forlan and Diego Lugano are all missing from the first post-World Cup Uruguay squad announced on Thursday for two friendlies in Asia next month.

Suarez is technically allowed to play friendlies after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport succeeded in getting some terms of his four-month suspension from all football-related activity changed.
