Liverpool striker Suarez included in Uruguay World Cup squad

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has been included in Uruguay's World Cup squad.

Suarez has been named in Uruguay's final 23-man squad for the World Cup as he continues his recovery from a knee operation.

He underwent keyhole surgery on May 22 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.
