July 1 (UPI) — The coaching staff of Uruguay’s national football team has not yet been informed on the seriousness of Edinson Cavani’s injury.
The Paris Saint-Germain star suffered the injury on Saturday during a game against Portugal.
“So far, I had no chance to talk to medics,” coach Oscar Tabarez said at the post-match news conference.
“We don’t have a lot of time to recover,” he added. “Right now, we are all concerned, but we don’t know how serious the injury is.”
A brace from Cavani (in the 7th and 62nd minutes) secured Uruguay a place in the World Cup quarter. Securing a place in the quarterfinals, Uruguay will take on France on July 6 in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. The match will start at 5 p.m. Moscow Time.
