ATLANTA (AP) – Uruguay midfielder Manuel Ugarte has torn ligaments in his knee, his club Manchester United announced Sunday.<\/p>\n

Ugarte was injured in the first half of the match against his home country. Lost 1-0 to Spain<\/span> Uruguay was eliminated on Friday. world cup<\/span> in the group stage. <\/p>\n

“Assessment of the injury is ongoing to determine the best course of treatment and rehabilitation period,” United said in a statement. “Everyone is praying for Manuel’s recovery and we will support him every step of the way.”<\/p>\n

Ugarte played in all three of Uruguay’s group games. <\/p>\n

His injury made a disastrous tournament even more disastrous for the two-time world champions, who failed to win any of their matches and were held to a draw by a dejected Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia. <\/p>\n

It was such a disappointing season that outgoing coach Marcelo Bielsa said he had left nothing behind for Uruguayan football during his tenure with the national team.<\/p>\n

Ugarte’s injury will also affect United’s preparations for the new season, which sees them return to the Champions League for the first time in two years. <\/p>\n
