NANNING, China, March 20 (Xinhua) -- Lius Suarez and Edinson Cavani will be missing the 2019 China Cup due to injuries, but Oscar Tabarez, head coach of Uruguay national football team, is confident that there will be new possibilities for Uruguay.

Uruguay won last year's edition of China Cup by defeating Wales 1-0 in the final courtesy of a goal from Cavani.

"They (Suarez and Cavani) indeed play an important role in our team, but this is not the first time we play without them. We have got other great players and it's better to focus on new possibilities," Tabarez said here on Wednesday.

Speaking of this year's China Cup, Tabarez believes that the three Asian teams, China, Thailand and Uzbekistan, are all very professional and competitive.

"I'm really looking forward to the matches and I hope to create beautiful memories here," he said. Enditem
