Liverpool talisman Luis Suarez admits that he is concerned about the prospect of being injured before the World Cup, having seen Radamel Falcao and Theo Walcott's hopes dashed.
Walcott suffered a serious injury with Arsenal in January, ending his hopes of heading to the World Cup with the England squad, while Falcao picked up a bad knee blow in the same month, making his chances of featuring in Brazil for Colombia very slim indeed.
