Tabarez: Suarez will face England

Uruguay started without all-time record goalscorer Luis Suarez in their shock 3-1 defeat Costa Rica in their World Cup opener on Saturday. They took a 1-0 lead after Edinson Cavani scored a penalty in the opening half. Costa Rica struck back with a vengeance with goals from Joel Campbell, Oscar Duarte and Marco Urena.

La Celeste, the reigning Copa America champions who finished fourth at the last World Cup, could hardly have suffered a worse start to the tournament but are confident of hitting back against England, with Suarez back on the pitch.
