At a press conference after the first training, Tabarez said the integration of the players to their teams "obviously for some aspects of the preparation is a problem."
The first players to join the camp were Egidio Arévalo (Tigres, MEX), Mathías Corujo (Universidad de Chile, CHI), Gaston Ramirez (Middlesbrough, ENG), Diego Rolán (Bordeaux, FRA), Christian Stuani (Middlesbrough, ENG ) and Alvaro González (Atlas, MEX), noted an AFP reporter.
The rest of the squad will join the team over the days as they fulfill their commitments in their local leagues.
Uruguay will not have its full squad until after May 28, when the final of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is played. Defenders Diego Godin and José María Giménez play for Atletico.
"We don't have time to really prepare," the coach emphasized.
The 'Charruas' play a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago in Montevideo on May 27.
Uruguay shares with Ecuador the top of South American qualifying for the World Cup and is one of the candidates to win the continental tournament to be held on American soil from June 3 to 26.
