Suarez says he's fit for Uruguay clash with England

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez says he's fully fit for Uruguay's World Cup clash with England.

The 27-year-old had to have surgery on the knee but he insists there was never any doubt about his participation in the tournament.

"At no moment did I think I would lose the chance of playing in the World Cup. I've never thought that during my recovery," said Suarez, who scored 27 Premier League goals last season.

"Now I am 100 per cent."

Suarez trained with his team-mates at Uruguay's base on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte on Monday.

Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez refused to say whether Suarez would definitely start against England, though.

"It is a possibility, I can say no more," Tabarez told a press conference.
