Uruguay midfielder  has left Brazilian side Grêmio and headed to the national team’s training base to prepare for the Copa América.

The 29-year-old was named in his country’s preliminary 27-man squad by manager Óscar Tabárez earlier this week. However, the former Paris Saint-Germain and Porto man has endured a frustrating season at club level. Although he still has a year left on his deal at Atlético Madrid, he was allowed to join Parma on loan in January, only to leave shortly after arriving because of the Italian club’s precarious financial predicament. He subsequently agreed another loan move to Grêmio, but managed less than 80 minutes for the Porto Alegre side after struggling with injury. As a result, he has now opted to bring an end to his spell in Brazil and return to his native Uruguay to continue his rehabilitation under the watchful eye of Tabárez’s coaching team.
