Uruguay could be without without Edinson Cavani in the quarter-finals meeting with France, but Rodrigo Bentancur believes the striker is progressing with his calf injury.

The teams will clash on Friday with a spot in the semi-finals up for grabs, which means Uruguay will need all hands on deck.

Cavani limped off in the 2-1 win over Portugal in the last 16 tie, but appears to be on his way to being fit.

“He has to do some rehabilitation exercises and is in a really good mood. This is obviously something that needs to be on a daily basis, but he’s been fine so far,” Bentancur said.
