🟢 Luis Suárez – Recovered from a minor injury and expected to start.
Ghana

Player to Watch: Luis Díaz (Colombia)
Luis Díaz remains Colombia's biggest attacking weapon with his pace, dribbling and ability to create chances in one-on-one situations. His direct style could be the key to breaking down Ghana's disciplined defence. The Bayern Munich winger has been one of Colombia's standout performers and will be expected to lead the attack as they chase another deep World Cup run.
Player to Watch: Jordan Ayew (Ghana)
Jordan Ayew brings experience and leadership to Ghana's frontline. He has found the back of the net on 34 occasions for his national side, and he is set again to lead the line in this knockout fixture. If Ghana are to cause an upset against Colombia, Ayew will need to deliver another influential performance in attack.
