Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez has said that Luis Suarez is fit to play in his nation’s final World Cup qualifying fixture against Bolivia.
The Barcelona star has been struggling with a knee injury although Tabarez has previously played down reports he requires surgery.
Suarez reportedly has a cyst on his knee, but Tabarez says he is ready to feature and has backed him to return to form after a poor spell.
"We keep insisting with him because he's a player that appears from time to time," he said.
"How many times during the last qualifiers we thought about substituting him and suddenly he scored goals.
