Liverpool signing Lambert: Suarez intro can wait until after World Cup

Liverpool signing Rickie Lambert says his introductions with Luis Suarez can wait until after the World Cup.

England need victory over Uruguay to get their campaign back on track after defeat to Italy last night.

Lambert still sees Suarez as the opposition going into England's World Cup showdown against Uruguay.

"I voted for him as PFA Player of the Year and he was on fire last season but I don't think I'll be trying to make friends before the game," said Lambert.

"He's had an operation but I think he'll be back and if he does play he's obviously the number one player we'll have to watch out for.

"But he's not the only good player in the Uruguay team."
