In the line-ups
4 appearances in recorded line-ups · 1987–1990The archive holds 4 team sheets naming Rubén Sosa in Uruguay's starting line-up, from 1987-07-12 to 1990-06-21.
4 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
