The Liverpool and Uruguay striker is set to undergo surgery on his knee and is a major doubt for the World Cup

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has been made a huge doubt for the World Cup after it was revealed that he is to undergo surgery on a knee injury.

The Reds star, who was voted PFA Player of the Year by his peers after scoring 31 goals in Brendan Rodgers’ title-chasing side, felt some discomfort during a training session with his international team-mates on Tuesday.

Subsequent tests have shown an issue in his meniscus in his knee, and the 27-year-old will now go under the knife this week, with the South American side desperately hoping that he will recover in time for this summer’s tournament.

Uruguay have been placed in Group D in Brazil, along with England, Italy and Costa Rica and the news will come as a boost to Roy Hodgson’s men, who are scheduled to face Oscar Tabarez’s side on June 14.

However, Tabarez can also call on Edinson Cavani and Diego Forlan, with the two forwards likely to spearhead the side’s attack if Suarez does indeed miss out.

The Reds’ inspiring victory over Carlo Ancelotti’s side topped the chart, beating Manchester United’s last minute winner in 1999 and Zinedine Zidane’s glorious goal in 2002

Liverpool’s magnificent comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul to win the Champions League in 2005 has been named the most priceless moment in the last 20 years of the tournament in a survey conducted by MasterCard.

The credit card company asked thousands of football fans to vote for their favourite moments from European football’s showpiece tournament across the last two decades.

It was the gripping final nine years ago in Istanbul that topped the list. Liverpool looked dead and buried as they went in 3-0 down to Carlo Ancelotti’s AC Milan at half-time. However, Rafael Benitez’s side fought back in remarkable fashion, scoring three goals in the space of six minutes to take the clash into extra time before winning it on penalties.

That glorious final was voted the best moment, beating off Manchester United’s last-gasp rally against Bayern Munich to claim the trophy in 1999 and Zinedine Zidane’s magnificent volley to win the tournament for Real Madrid against Bayer Leverkusen in 2002.

Javier Perez, president of MasterCard commented: “The tournament has delivered countless priceless moments over the past 20 years and the fans have been there all the way, so it’s fantastic to be able to get their opinion on the greatest moments.”

The top five Champions League moments are:

1. Liverpool’s comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul in the 2005 Final;
2. Manchester United’s last minute victory vs Bayern Munich in the 1999 Final;
3. Zinedine Zidane’s volleyed goal against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Final;
4. Barcelona’s victory over Manchester United in the 2011 Final;
5. Ronaldinho’s goal for Barcelona against Chelsea in March 2005.

The Denmark coach is concerned that his captain may grow “frustrated and irritated” without more game time at Anfield, with the Reds open to offers for the centre-back

Denmark coach Morten Olsen fears Daniel Agger could become “frustrated and irritated” if he remains on the periphery at Liverpool.

The 29-year-old has only started 16 Premier League games this term, with injuries playing a part, while Mamadou Sakho and Martin Skrtel have been the preferred pairing, and Goal understands that the Reds are open to offers for the centre-back.

Agger spoke of his frustration at how his personal campaign had gone in the Danish press recently and hinted at a potential exit, stating that he was “no-one’s third choice”.

Barcelona have previously been linked with a move for the Denmark captain and national coach Olsen fears that Agger could grow frustrated without regular first-team football.

“You may ask Daniel about [it],” he told Bold. “He can best gauge how it looks now and, more important, [for] next season.

“But of course he should be playing. Otherwise, I believe we will have a frustrated and irritated captain.

“I hope he will make the right choice.”
