England matches their number of goals in the last two World Cups in one half
The Uruguay national team will face Russia tomorrow for the third match of the World Cup. Although both teams are already qualified, Monday's match will determine which of the two will finish first in the group and face the second team from Group B. However, the 'Celeste' will have a major absence for this important match.
It's about José María Giménez, who was absent from the last training session of the South American team at the Cosmos Arena in the city of Samara. The central defender will not play against the World Cup host due to a muscular injury in his right quadriceps. Óscar Washington Tabárez, the team's coach, has decided to keep him for the round of 16 to avoid complications.
José María Giménez and Diego Godín are the starting defenders for the Uruguayan team. So far, they have been infallible in preventing goals in the team's goal defended by goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.
