Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani was absent for the Manchester derby earlier today due to a tendon injury.
The Uruguay international has been carrying the problem for the past few games, and he was unable to train ahead of the derby.
The striker felt 'very severe' pain ahead of the game. He has now been excluded from Uruguay's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
It is unclear whether 34-year-old will be available for the Red Devils after the final international break of the calendar year.
Cavani has endured an injury-plagued career for United, but he has still been effective with 18 goals since his move last summer.
His game time has significantly reduced this term with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, and he could leave the club soon.
Cavani was eager to join Boca Juniors this summer before he was convinced to stay for another campaign on improved wages.
Barcelona are exploring a deal for him, but reports claim that he will snub their advances to move to Argentina with Boca.
