PSG ace Cavani admits Uruguay nervous about Suarez injury

PSG striker Edinson Cavani admits Uruguay players are concerned over the injury of Liverpool's Luis Suarez.

Uruguay's opening match against Costa Rica on June 15 is an unrealistic target for Suarez even if he makes the squad, but the second group match against an England side led by Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard is an obvious target.

Speaking to El Pais ahead of Friday's warm-up match against Northern Ireland, Cavani said: "We're all a bit discouraged by what happened. Injuries are always ugly and more so at this time.

"I think we have to leave him alone now so he can have a good recovery with no anxiety on him.

"We wish he can join us as soon as possible."
