Uruguay are set to be without their talismanic frontman Luis Suarez who hasn't fully recovered from knee surgery despite training earlier in the week.

Former Manchester United striker, Diego Forlan, is set to replace Suarez after recovering from a stomach bug.

Arsenal striker Joel Campbell is set to lead the line for Costa Rica.

Costa Rica haven't beaten Uruguay in their last eight meetings (W6, D2).

Uruguay won the world only previous world cup to be held in Brazil when they beat the hosts in 1950.

Quite a shock this result and worth taking note of for England.

Seems like Uruguay really missed Suarez, who also had Pereira sent off.

Summary

• Costa Rica claim shock win
• Arsenal's Campbell scores equaliser
• Uruguay's Pereira banned for England game
• Both teams in England's Group D
