Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani has apologised for calling Jamaica an African team.

While analysing Uruguay's first opponent in the Copa America, the Paris Saint-Germain player said that all teams are difficult to play against, especially 'an African team, which we all know focus on their physical strength.'

Cavani used his Twitter account on Thursday to apologise to the Caribbean nation.

Said she stereotyped them and they felt offended.

As for me I am a bit fair but I wish I was as black as charcoal..
