Liverpool centre-forward Darwin Nunez revealed that he suffered cramp during his country's win over Brazil.
Nunez was excellent against the South American giants for Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier.
After scoring and assisting in a 2-0 win and earning Man of the Match, Nunez admitted he faces a race against time to be fit for club action.
"The truth is that to earn the position of number nine I have to work, not settle for anything and that's what I try to do when I come to the national team," said the striker to local reporters.
"I come to leave everything on the field, it was noticeable today.
I ended up a little cramped in the end. I'm happy with the victory."
