Uruguay duo of Edinson Cavani and Jose Maria Gimenez are facing bans following attack on German referee Daniel Siebert during Ghana clash.
Following a decision to ignore a penalty appeal by referee Daniel Siebert, after a challenge on Cavani in the penalty box.
Players from the Uruguay camp hounded the official, making their feelings known about what they thought of the decision.
But Cavani and Jose Gimenez were at the forefront of the protestation with both players likely to receive sanctions.
Footballghana.com has learnt the duo will be hit with match bans by the world football governing body (FIFA) which is likely to be at the international level.
This means Cavani and Jimenez will be available for both Valencia and Atletico Madrid at club level.
Meanwhile, the German referee has also come under intense pressure for ignoring the penalty appealed by Uruguayans during the clash.
While Siebert has been a referee at the highest level since 2015, the tournament in Qatar represents his first big test.
Given the lack of control he exerted during Uruguay's game against Ghana, the German is unlikely to officiate any games during the knockout stages of the 2022 World Cup.
The Black Stars were eliminated after the first round of the tournament following a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay.
After defeating South Korea in their second group game, the Black Stars needed a draw or win against Uruguay to advance to the last 16 stage.
But the team failed to negotiate for points against their ‘enemies’ Uruguay.
