FIFA have confirmed that Uruguay striker Luis Suarez could miss the rest of the World Cup following his hand-ball against Ghana

The Ajax striker was given a straight red card for saving Dominic Adiyiah's goalbound-header on the line in extra-time. Asamoah Gyan missed the resultant spot kick and the African nation lost a penalty shoot-out, after which Suarez celebrated with his team-mates on the pitch.

FIFA spokesman Pekka Odriozola told a media briefing: "For automatic red cards there is an automatic one-match suspension. The disciplinary committee also opens a case and they will be looking at that incident and taking a decision."
