Cavani trains but Tabarez refuses to reveal Uruguay's quarter-final line-up

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez refused to state whether Edinson Cavani will start Friday's World Cup quarter-final against France.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker resumed team training on Thursday following a hamstring injury he suffered in the 2-1 last-16 win over Portugal.

Cavani's return to the practice pitches at Uruguay's team base in Borsky came as a huge boost to Tabarez's plans for the clash with France at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.

However, the 71-year-old was left frustrated by some of the media coverage of his forward's injury and recovery, so therefore said he will not disclose his team.
