I'm fit and ready to take on England! Luis Suarez issues warning ahead of crunch clash
LIVERPOOL and Uruguay star Luis Suarez has declared he is "100 per cent fit" to take on England in a crucial World Cup clash this Thursday.
The world-class striker had been a doubt for the Group D clash after missing his side's shock defeat to Costa Rica, and club team-mates including Steven Gerrard admitted they weren't sure if he was going to make the game.
However Suarez has moved to quash any rumours that he won't be involved by claiming that he intends to send the Three Lions crashing out of the tournament by taking advantage of their "defensive deficiencies."
He declared: "I know all the players in the England squad, I know some of them because they are team-mates or rivals.

England have defensive deficiencies and we can take advantage of them
"They have defensive deficiencies and we can take advantage of them.
"At no moment did I think I would lose the chance of playing in the World Cup. I've never thought that during my recovery.
"Now I am 100 per cent."
