Chile Final Squad

Fifa Ranking: 18 (888 Points)
First appearance: 1930
No. of appearances (inc 2010): 8
Best result: Semi-Finals (1962)
Coach: Marcelo BIELSA (ARG)

Chile coach Marcelo Bielsa has selected his final 23-man squad for the World Cup finals, with the reportedly injured Humberto Suazo included in the list.

The 29-year-old Zaragoza forward is understood to have a torn hamstring and although the exact extent of the injury is not yet known, Bielsa is obviously hopeful that Suazo will be available to play some part.

As a result, Colo Colo defender Roberto Cereceda is the final player to drop out of the squad. The 25-year-old was widely tipped as the player to miss out on the final selection. Chile start their World Cup campaign with the match against Honduras on June 16.
