Nizhniy Novgorod: Uruguay defender Jose Maria Gimenez is out of his country’s World Cup game against hosts Russia, which will determine who will top Group A, because of a thigh injury, officials said on Saturday.

Uruguay and Russia have both won their first two matches, though the hosts have a far more impressive goal difference. Both teams have already qualified for the last 16 and will either play Portugal, Spain or Iran in the next round depending on final match results in Group B. A stuttering Uruguay have won both their matches, against Egypt and Saudi Arabia. 1-0. Gimenez scored the late winner in the first game.
