The federation said this piece of news has increased the player’s chances of being fit for Friday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup quarter-final match with France.

“The greatest virtue of the Uruguay team is that they are Uruguay”.
Santos said despite having a close look at their opponents, it was impossible to legislate for Uruguay’s first goal, which saw Luis Suarez find Cavani with an exquisite cross. However, the reality for Uruguay is they could be without one of their key pieces in this contest.
We could have witnessed the changing of the guard in Argentina’s 4-3 loss to France.
“We don’t have a lot of time to recover”, said Tabarez.
Despite this, it was still Ronaldo’s best World Cup.
Ronaldo also said that Portugal were unlucky to lose to Uruguay. We have a team of players who are ambitious.
“Then I took my belongings and left her forever”, he added.
Uruguay forward Edinson Cavani is in pain ahead of Uruguay’s World Cup quarter-final with France with a reported calf injury.
The latter is the godfather of Griezmann’s daughter. Teenage sensation KylianMbappe was in fine form against Argentina, bagging a brace, and he is priced at just 3.20 to get on the scoresheet in this one, and 6.50 to score either the first or last goal of the game. The Frenchman also became a fan of Uruguayan club Penarol and learned the chants sung among its supporters.
At this World Cup, goalkeeper Fernando Muslera and star striker Luis Suarez both collected their 100th caps. “I’m very emotional about them qualifying because I love the country and the people”, explained Griezmann.
“At this stage of the tournament I think you need a ideal game to be able to advance”, Suarez said after the South Americans vanquished Portugal. “It could be a very special match for him”.
Much like his own side, Santos believes Uruguay’s strength lies in the collective, as well as the canny coaching of Oscar Tabarez.

Suarez has assisted 12 of Cavani’s 45 worldwide goals. His goal against Morocco at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium also saw him become Europe’s all-time top worldwide scorer on 85 goals, one ahead of Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas. Both the players vying for the mantle of best footballer in the world are out of the tournament, under-serviced by their teammates and able to produce only brief glimpses of their brilliance. But he went on to praise Griezmann’s partner in attack, Kylian Mbappe. The 33-year-old Ronaldo made most appearances at World Cups and European Championships among all players since his debut in 2004.
