Uruguay's football players on Friday held a training session at the team's camp near here in preparation for their upcoming FIFA World Cup clash with Russia.

Forwards Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani and midfielder Cristian Rodriguez participated in the practice led by head coach Oscar Tabarez at Borsky sports centre, reports Efe.

Uruguay beat Egypt 1-0 in their World Cup Group A opener last Friday and won 1-0 over Saudi Arabia thanks to a goal from forward Luis Suarez on Wednesday.

La Celeste and Russia will square off on Monday to determine the Group A winner, as Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which lost 3-1 to the hosts on Tuesday, have been essentially eliminated from the tournament.
