Muntari starts against Uruguay

Injury boost for Ghana as Milovan Rajevac replaces the two suspended players for today's quarter-final match against Uruguay at the World Cup.

Sulley Muntari and Isaac Vorsah take the places of Andre Ayew and Jonathan Mensah as both are suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.

Hans Adu-Sarpei stays fit for the game at the Soccer City and takes his place at left-back with John Paintsil on the right side of defence while Vorsah returns to partner captain John Mensah in central defence as cover for Richard Kingson in goal.

Kevin-Prince Boateng also overcomes injury to pair with Anthony Annan in the midfield holding role while Samuel Inkoom earns a second consecutive start with a place on the right side of attack.

Sulley makes his first start at the World Cup and gets to play on his favourite left.

Kwadwo Asamoah plays behind striker Asamoah Gyan in attack for Ghana.
