adminURUGUAY striker Luis Suarez could play at the World Cup despite having surgery on an injured knee, according to the country’s football association.
The Liverpool striker “suffered intense pain” in training on Wednesday last week and had an operation to repair meniscus damage.
“Suarez might be ready to play in Brazil,” said the Uruguay Football Association (AUF) in a statement. Estimates on his recovery range from 15 days to a minimum of four weeks with Uruguay’s Group D opener on June 14. They then face England in their second group game in Sao Paulo on June 19.
The statement added that “no other damage to the knee was spotted”.
Uruguay FA president Wilmar Valdez suggested if Suarez’s recovery went to plan he could return to training in just over a fortnight. – BBC Sport
