Edinson Cavani is one of the most prolific goal scorers in the world, the Manchester United forward has been one of the best players in his position for quite some time now. At 34, Cavani is still considered an elite player and he will be badly missed by Uruguay in their upcoming games against Argentina and Bolivia.

Cavani’s situation is a strange one as the player has only played in 5 games in the Premier League this season scoring 1 goal and missed the Red Devils match against Manchester City over the weekend.

During the international window, Cavani traveled to Uruguay to present his new children’s book, but he will not participate in his national team’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
