Uruguay concern: Cavani could stay out of Qatar 2022

The striker of the Uruguayan National Team, Edinson Cavani, suffered an ankle injury in October and Gennaro Gattuso, his coach in Valencia, acknowledged that “his ankle is very swollen” less than two weeks before the start of Qatar 2022.The former PSG and Manchester United striker began to feel discomfort at the end of October when he had to be replaced 17 minutes into the match in which Valencia faced Barcelona, So much so that it was he himself who asked to be replaced. It is an area in which he already suffered pain and problems, so much so that on October 15, when he scored two goals against Elche, he was replaced by pains in the same place.

11 days after Qatar, the coach of the “Ché” team said: “Edi in these last five or six days has done everything to be able to play but the ankle is very swollen and has pain. He has shown great availability but cannot train.” The last MRI was done a few weeks ago and the ankle is better than when he came but when he is hit it bothers him. But he is better than when we signed him. He has to work but he likes it. I’m not thinking about everything negative, I hope he plays a great World Cup and that his ankle doesn’t bother him,” he added. The Uruguayan National Team will debut next Thursday, November 24 when it faces South Korea at the Ciudad de la Educación Stadium for Group H completed by Portugal and Ghana.

“HIS ANKLE IS NOW VERY SWOLLEN, HE IS IN PAIN,” Gennaro Gattuso said of Edinson Cavani’s situation, adding: “With our medical staff we have not talked about whether he can miss the World Cup or not.” pic.twitter.com/S4KNkFroah — SportsCenter (@SC_ESPN)
