Notes edit
- ^ Uruguayan Football Association currently doesn't keep record of matches played and goals scored by under-20 team players. Statistics here are unofficial and are calculated with the help of articles published in federation's official website, tweets from official Twitter account and other reliable websites. There could be slight variation regarding number of caps, as data of players who came in as substitutes in few matches played in 2021 isn't available.
