Uruguay recalls Cavani due to pressure from the Premier and Surez due to injury

Fede Valverde, Maxi Gmez, Araujo and Arambarri remain on the Tabares list

The Uruguayan soccer team announced this Sunday that it is canceling the call for the Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani due to the refusal of the Premier League to assign footballers to the South American teams. In addition, this drop is joined by that of Luis Surez, who suffered a knee injury in the game against Villarreal.

The Uruguayan Football Association (AUF) thus gives in to pressure from the Premier, who wielded the obligation imposed by the British Government to keep ten days of quarantine when returning from a country listed in red due to high risk of Covid, such as Uruguay. . In a brief statement, AUF details that “according to the situation of public knowledge” with the players who come from the English league have decided to cancel the call for the forward.

The vice president of the AUF, Gastn Tealdi, had told Efe days ago that they trusted the efforts of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) and the support of FIFA to enforce the obligation of the associations to give up their players.

The pressures of LaLiga – without health arguments, only on the calendar – have not had the same effect. Although Surez is out due to injury, Fede Valverde, Ronald Arajo, Arambarri and Maxi Gmez remain in the appointment for the three games against Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected the precautionary measures requested by the governing body of soccer in Spain so that Conmebol players did not attend the call of their teams, something that was celebrated by FIFA.
