Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani looks increasingly likely to miss his country’s upcoming World Cup quarter-final clash with France through injury.
The two countries are set to go head to head in the first of the tournament’s last-8 ties on Friday afternoon, in what will no doubt prove a fascinating tactical battle.
France secured their spot in the quarter-finals courtesy of a thrilling 4-3 victory over Argentina last Saturday, with Kylian Mbappe having stolen the show with a sensational performance and second-half brace.
Uruguay, meanwhile, continued to prove why they are one of this summer’s most-feared dark horses, as a brilliantly-taken double from Edinson Cavani saw the 2-time champions send Portugal home.
