World Cup 2018: Unheralded players to watch out for in Group A

#1 Rodrigo Bentancur (Uruguay)

Rodrigo Bentancur (number 6) will pair up with Matias Vecino at CDM

Much like Egypt, Uruguay is known for their amazing strike-force. Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani are the two most discussed-about players of Uruguay. However, while scoring goals might not look like an issue, containing them might be one. A lot will depend on their defence and protecting their back four will be the two defensive midfielders, Matias Vecino and Rodrigo Bentancur.

Uruguay's group is not an intimidating one, but they still will have to deal with Salahs and Smolovs. The 20-year-old Juventus player has already played 6 games for his nation and has justified his selection by virtue of mesmerizing performances.

Uruguay might have to face either Spain or Portugal in the very next round and Bentancur will have a massive workload.
