Suarez "happy to be playing again" for Liverpool

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez feels in great form going into the World Cup qualifiers with Uruguay.

Suarez thinks his return in a Reds shirt can help even more ahead of Friday's crucial clash against Ecuador, who hold the fourth and final automatic qualification spot, which is then followed their final game at home to Argentina.

"I feel very happy because I have returned to play at the club and that helps," Suarez told reporters on his arrival in Montevideo.

"Playing in Quito is difficult and we are aware that they have a lot at stake. We cannot be complacent, we are realistic.

"We have been winning and doing things right, but we cannot rely on anything.

"A couple of months ago we were resigned to the play-offs, now all we want, based on the good results, is qualifying outright.

"We know we have the team to push through qualifying to reach the World Cup."
