Edinson Cavani is Uruguay's third highest goal scorer of all time, but the 29-year-old is notorious for going missing at major tournaments.
With Luis Suarez a major doubt for Uruguay's group fixtures at the Copa America Centenario, the stage could be set for Edinson Cavani to finally fulfill the role of hero at a major tournament.
Uruguayan hearts sunk at the sight of seeing Suarez limp off in Barcelona's Copa del Rey final triumph against Sevilla a fortnight ago, which left him in major doubt for the 100th Copa America.
Suarez had just made his return to competitive international action in March after a 20-month layoff following his suspension for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup, and Uruguay was emerging as one of the favorites for the Copa, which begins in the United States on Friday.
