NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia (Reuters) - Injured Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani failed to make the lineup for Friday's World Cup quarter-final against France, with Cristhian Stuani replacing him up front alongside Luis Suarez.

Cavani scored two goals in the round of 16 win over Portugal then limped off with a calf injury, and had desperately sought to get fit for the match at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
