Edinson Cavani
Paris: Uruguayan international striker Edinson Cavani could miss tomorrow's friendly against Italy after picking up an injury playing against Ireland, coach Oscar Tabarez said on Monday.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker went off with an unspecified muscle injury just 12 minutes into the friendly at Dublin's Aviva Stadium on Sunday.
"He has to undergo tests to find out exactly what the problem is but for me it seems difficult for him to play against Italy," said Tabarez after Uruguay's 3-1 defeat to Ireland.
Cavani, 30, was voted French players' player of the year thanks to his 49 goals in all competitions for PSG during the 2016-2017 season.
Meanwhile, Belgium midfielder Eden Hazard sustained an ankle fracture in training and will miss this week's international matches, the Belgian Football Association confirmed on Sunday.
Hazard, who scored 16 goals and provided five assists to help Chelsea win the Premier League, is ruled out of his country's friendly against Czech Republic.
