Suarez Doubtful For The World Cup

The Liverpool player and the Barclays 2013/2014 Golden boot winner tore the cartilage which stabilizes and cushions the knee joint, an MRI confirmed he would need to undergo a repair surgery.

Confirming the injury and the procedure to follow, a Uruguayan correspondent from the country's football association, Martin Chardquero tweeted, ''“ATTENTION. Luis Suarez will have a meniscus operation this morning. Apparently, he will be playing in the World Cup. Can not believe. # VAMOSLUIS”

With just 21 days to the World Cup, the injury scare could delay the preparation for the striker's chances for the Mundial as medical research recommends a two weeks more than absolutely necessary immobilization of the Knee after surgery which may be followed by another two weeks of limited motion before the patient is able to resume daily activities. This, in other words means a two week inactivity for the player if medical research is anything to go with.

The player's brother, Paolo, however, has come out to down play any rumour of the player missing the World Cup, confirming that Suarez would be fit before the kick of their first game against Costa Rica on June 14.
