Suarez still a question mark

Uruguay will give star striker Luis Suarez every chance to prove his fitness less than a month after having knee surgery ahead of its World Cup opener with Costa Rica in Fortaleza on Saturday.

The Premier League Player of the Year had an operation to repair damage to the meniscus in his left knee on May 22, but has remained steadfast in his determination to play in Brazil.

"I want to tell everyone that the recovery is going very well and that the knee feels good. Everything depends on how things go day-by-day, but it is going well," Suarez said via his official Twitter account.
