Panama vs. Uruguay: Visitors without Suarez and Cavani

Uruguay will be without star men Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani for their friendly against Panama on Friday.

Uruguay will have to do without Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani for their friendly against Panama.

Coach Oscar Tabarez has opted to leave his star strikers out of Friday's fixture in Panama City as they are both suspended for the start of Uruguay's World Cup qualifying campaign, which begins next month.

Cavani, who scored two goals in Paris Saint-Germain's 3-0 win over Monaco on Sunday, will miss his nation's next two competitive matches after being sent off during their bad-tempered Copa America quarter-final defeat to Chile.
