Uruguayan Pointman Luis Suarez who yesterday was billed to have a corrective surgery to his torn knee, may after all look up to playing in the World Cup as the surgery carried out on him was successful, so confirmed the Uruguay Football Association (UFA) and the striker has promised that he would work hard to be at the World Cup Finals.

The UFA confirmed in a statement that the striker's ''participation in the World Cup in Brazil is not ruled out.'' Luis Suarez may have sustained the injury at the final day of the premiership season after a challenge from Welsh International and Newcastle defender Paul Dummett for which the Welshman has since received lots of death threats from Uruguay football fans.

"The surgery is over and thank God everything went well. What Luis had wasn't as serious as we thought," Suarez's mother, Sandra Diaz commented.

"He's very well. He's going to play the World Cup," Diaz emphasized.
