Intro:

Uruguay hold presser ahead of opener against Costa Rica where both coach and players hope that star striker Luis Suarez will be fit.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Uruguay midfielder Cristian Rodriguez

"Yes, he (Luis Suarez) wants to be there, he is very focused on it, just as the doctors that are helping him, and as I said before, he is doing things very good, working in double and triple shift, and that is very good, and we hope to have him soon with us."

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez

"If it depended on me, Suarez would play tomorrow. Because of all he has done on the path we have been on and what he does now, since 2006 in the under 20s, that coincided with the start of our work with the national team until now. He is a very important player."
