Meulensteen: England will need to be aware of Fulham's Ruiz

Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen believes England will have to remain wary of Bryan Ruiz at next year's World Cup.

The Cottagers forward will be in the Costa Rica squad at Brazil 2014 and his club manager suggests the Three Lions will have to watch him closely during the group stage after they were drawn against Los Ticos.

"I do not know the strength of Costa Rica, but I can see why Bryan is in that team because he is an excellent player," he told the Fulham Chronicle.

"Players with that sort of quality, who can create space for themselves out of nothing, is someone England need to be aware of."
