Luis Suarez is set to miss the World Cup after it was revealed he will undergo surgery imminently on a knee injury picked up in training on Wednesday.
The striker – who was voted PFA Player of the Year for his performances at Liverpool this season – is Uruguay’s talisman.
And, in a direct boost to England’s chances of progressing out of the group, Suarez may miss the entirety of the first stage after immediate surgery today following results of an MRI scan, according to reports in Uruguay.
A Uruguay FA official said: ‘It was all unexpected. The latest information is that we are deciding what to do, but there are increased possibilities (involving surgery).
‘I can’t tell you anything more. The AUF (Uruguay Federation) will announce it officially on Thursday morning.’
The South American’s are fancied as potential dark horses and face Roy Hodgson’s side as well as Italy and Costa Rica in Group D.
Suarez was checked over by medical staff on Wednesday after picking up the knock in training just three weeks before the tournament starts in Brazil.
The 27-year-old arrived in Montevideo for training on Tuesday morning, feeling discomfort in a session with Oscar Tabarez’s squad on Wednesday but continuing before encountering the major problem later in the evening.
Roberto Pastoriza, executive of the Uruguayan Football Association, confirmed that they had attempted to keep the news under wraps.
