Luis Suarez Uruguay

SUAREZ GIVES ENGLAND THE WILLIES Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has warned his Liverpool team-mates in the England camp that he will be fit for the Group D showdown between the two countries on 19 June. Suarez is in a race against time to make the World Cup after undergoing knee surgery, but is confident of recovering in time for the clash in Sao Paolo, even though he may not be fit for Uruguay's opener against Costa Rica. The official line from the Uruguay camp is more conservative, but Suarez seems determined to give England the willies. According to The Times, his messages were "the talk of the England squad as they trained at St George's Park" yesterday.

GERMANY STARS IN MERCEDES CRASHGermany squad members Benedict Hoewedes and Julian Draxler escaped unhurt after a car accident near the squad's training base in northern Italy that left two people in hospital yesterday. The pair were taking part in a promotional video for Mercedes-Benz, Germany's chief sponsor, with F1 driver Nico Rosberg and touring car driver Pascal Wehrlein, when two pedestrians were hit by Wehrlein's vehicle on what was supposed to be a closed circuit. The pair were taken to hospital, none of the players or racing drivers were hurt.
