Penarol sweat over fitness of Uruguay winger Rodriguez
Montevideo, Oct 23: Uruguay international winger Cristian Rodriguez faces a race against time to be fit for Penarol's decisive clash with Progreso in the Uruguayan top division on Sunday.
The 33-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain and Porto player suffered a calf injury in his team's 1-1 draw with rivals Nacional on Saturday, reports Xinhua news agency.

Penarol will secure the Clausura title -- one of Uruguayan football's three annual top flight competitions -- if they beat 10th placed Progreso at home on Sunday.
