The forward of the Uruguayan soccer team, Edinson Cavani, received two sanction dates today and will be on the sidelines of the match against Argentina, to be played in March, for the fifth date of the South American qualifying round for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
FIFA confirmed this afternoon that the current Manchester United attacker will have to serve a two-date penalty (he will not be available against Bolivia), after being sent off in the commitment with Brazil (0-2) at the Centenario stadium, last November , for the fourth day of the classification.
Cavani, born in the city of Salto 33 years ago, would only be available for coach Oscar Tabárez in the matches on dates 7 and 8 against Paraguay (local) and Venezuela (visitor), to be played in June.
Uruguay, with 6 points in the standings, will visit Argentina (10), at the ‘Madre de Cities’ stadium in Santiago del Estero next Thursday, March 25, in a match for the fifth date of the continental tie.
Midfielder Nahitan Nández (former Boca Juniors) is also ruled out in the ‘blue’ cast for the classic River Plate, for having reached the warning limit.
For the sixth day, the Uruguayan team will receive their Bolivian pair, which is last in the positions together with Peru, both with one unit. That match will be played on Tuesday 30 at the Centenario stadium in Montevideo.
