: Three of South American football's biggest stars -- Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Alexis Sanchez -- risk missing out on the World Cup in Qatar as South American qualifying enters its final straight.

“Many times in the qualifiers we’ve had to get out the calculators,“ said Cavani when he arrived in Uruguay on Sunday after his crucial assist in Manchester United’s 1-0 win over West Ham a day earlier. Midfield enforcer Arturo Vidal is suspended after a red card in their last match -- a 2-0 home defeat to Ecuador -- and Chile received further bad news with three players ruled out of Thursday's visit of Argentina after testing positive for Covid.

“We’re close but we still lack the hardest thing which is closing it out, because we have some tough games ahead,“ said Ecuador’s Argentine coach Gustavo Alfaro.
