Edinson Cavani: Manchester United striker will not travel to Uruguay for World Cup Qualifiers

Manchester United have received a huge boost, with striker Edinson Cavani set to remain at the club during the international break.

The Uruguayan has had his call-up to the national side cancelled, making him available for the four matches he would have likely missed.

The Premier League announced that all clubs had unanimously agreed not to send their players on international duty if the matches were to be played in the UK’s ‘red listed’ countries.

The players who decided to go would have been forced to quarantine for ten days upon their arrival to England.
