Luis Suarez injures knee ahead of World Cup - Uruguay media 
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has injured his knee in training and could be a doubt for the World Cup, according to media reports in the country.The 27-year-old Liverpool strike
r will have keyhole surgery on Thursday to repair damage to his meniscus, says Uruguayan broadcaster Tenfield.
Recovery normally takes between 15 and 20 days, adds the report.
Uruguay play England on 19 June in Sao Paulo after their Group D opener against Costa Rica on 14 June.Suarez finished as the Premier League's leading scorer this season with 31 goals, despite missing the opening five matches through suspension.
He also
finished as top-scorer in the South American section of World Cup qualifying, scoring 11 goals as Uruguay finished fifth in the continent's nine-team group.Uruguay subsequently secured their place at the finals in Brazil by beating Jordan 5-0 in a play-off.
Suarez is a proven performer at major tournaments,
helping Uruguay to the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup and scoring four times as his side won the Copa America the following year.
His partnership with Paris St-Germain striker Edinson Cavani is a key part of coach Oscar Tabarez's plans.

Luis Suarez faces race to be fit for World Cup 2014 after injuring knee in Uruguay trainingUruguay and Liverpool striker suffers meniscus damage in training and will undergo surgery that normally keeps players out for 4-6 weeks 
Uruguay's World Cup preparations have been thrown into turmoil with the news that the Premier League's player of the season, Luis Suarez, has picked up a knee injury. Suarez felt discomfort after twisting his knee in training, and tests later revealed meniscus damage.The Liverpool forward will
undergo surgery as soon as possible and, according to the Uruguay camp, he should be ready for the World Cup. However, that is in some doubt.
Recovery from this type of injury normally takes between 4-6 weeks, and Suarez would be pushing those limits.
At the very least, the procedure will cut down on his ability to train leading up to Uruguay's opening match at the World Cup,
against Costa Rica on June 14. Uruguay play England on June 19, four weeks away.
Suarez is the focal point of a Uruguay attack which also features Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan,
and his absence would be a major blow were he not to recover in time. On the flip side, it would greatly benefit Roy Hodgson's England,
who know only too well how dangerous the striker can be having seen him star for Liverpool in this season's Premier League title challenge.
