Doubt surrounds Luis Suarez’s participation at the World Cup finals after reports that the Uruguay striker has suffered a knee injury in training and will have an operation on Thursday.
Suarez, the PFA and Football Writers’ Player of the Year after scoring 31 goals for Liverpool, is said to have had an MRI scan on Wednesday which showed meniscus damage requiring immediate surgery.
The news was reported by prominent Uruguayan journalist Martin Charquero, who was also the first to reveal that Suarez would sign a new contract with Liverpool in January. He said that Suarez would be operated on at 7:30 a.m. local time.
One tweet stated: “Luis Suárez felt discomfort in today’s training session. Later a scan was carried out, where a meniscus problem was detected.”
