WORLD CUP: 'I'm ready for England' - Suarez
when they meet in Sao Paulo on Thursday,
according to reports from Uruguay.
Suarez had targeted Thursday's World Cup
Group G clash as a realistic recovery date
after undergoing keyhole surgery on his knee
last month.
The striker was an unused substitute at the
weekend as Uruguay threw away a first-half
lead in the 3-1 defeat to Costa Rica but he is
now ready to face England.
Scoring 82 goals for Liverpool since joining in
2011, the England team will be all too aware
how dangerous the 27-year-old striker is, but
Suarez has played down his role.
He told Uruguayan publication Ovación
Digital: "I have been training for a few days
with the team and I am 100% ready, I now only
need time on the pitch and to play the game.
"There is not one player that is going to be the
saviour. We all have to work together to carry
on."
With five of Roy Hodgson's starting 11 against
Italy being members of the Liverpool team and
the rest from other Premier League clubs,
Suarez feels confident he knows how to
exploit England's weaknesses.
He has also thanked his club for not
interfering and allowing his national side to
take care of his injury.
He continued: "There was never a moment
when Liverpool said to me 'don't play'. The
club have complete trust in Uruguay's team.
"I know all the English national-team players,
both because they are team-mates or because
they are rivals. They have defensive woes that
we can take advantage of, but I won't tell the
press how we have to play."
