Edinson Cavani will start against Chile
Some Uruguayan media outlets announce that Edinson Cavani will start in the crucial match against Chile in the quarterfinals of the Copa America. The PSG forward has been affected by the incident involving his father in Uruguay, where he drunkenly killed a motorcyclist in a hit-and-run accident. Despite this, he has made the decision to stay with his teammates, and if he has taken that step, playing in the match will likely follow shortly. Tabarez left the decision to stay or leave up to Cavani, and the striker chose to remain in Chile, even though he had a flight to Montevideo planned in case he decided to leave.
Cavani is not having a good Copa America, and this incident further complicates his role. In the previous World Cup, Uruguay faced a similar situation when Luis Suarez was sanctioned for biting Chiellini, and everything seemed to turn against the team during the competition. Now, with the Chile match approaching and no margin for error, it is Cavani who has disrupted the previously positive atmosphere within the group.
