Tottenham star Rodrigo Bentancur substituted off injured during Ghana vs Uruguay at World Cup

Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has been substituted off during Uruguay's final Group H fixture against Ghana. The Spurs star has been one of the best players for his country at the World Cup so far.

Bentancur's substitution has sparked fears over a potential injury after being taken off in the 34th minute for Matias Vecino. Uruguay beat Ghana 2-0 but both teams failed to progress into the round of 16 stage after South Korea beat Portugal 2-1 and qualified based on goals scored.

Andre Ayew missed a penalty in the 22nd minute of the match after Uruguay goalkeeper Sergio Rochet brought down Mohammed Kudus. Ghana players, including Arsenal's Thomas Partey surrounded the penalty spot to stop anyone from scuffing the turf, but Ayew's spot kick was well saved by Rochet who redeemed himself after his silly foul.
