BRAZIL 2014: Luis Suarez has been included in Uruguay's final 23-man squad for the FIFA World Cup™ as he continues his recovery from a knee operation

Luis Suarez has been included in Uruguay's final 23-man squad for the FIFA World Cup™ as he continues his recovery from a knee operation.
The in-form Liverpool striker underwent keyhole surgery on 22 May after damaging the meniscus in his left knee and immediately doubts were cast on whether he would be fit for the World Cup. However, Uruguay remain cautiously optimistic that Suarez, who is said to be progressing well following the operation, will be able to feature in Brazil and on Saturday the 27-year-old was confirmed in coach Oscar Tabarez's squad for the finals.
It remains to be seen when Suarez will be able to return to action, though, with Uruguay kicking off their World Cup campaign against Costa Rica in just over two weeks. England and Italy are the other two teams in a tough-looking Group D.
The two players who have been cut from Tabarez's 25-man provisional squad are Palmeiras midfielder Sebastian Eguren and Lanus defender Alejandro Silva.
