Luis Suarez has been named in the Uruguay side for tonight's clash with England .
The Liverpool striker missed Uruguay's embarrassing opening game defeat to Costa Rica through injury, having undergone keyhole surgery on his knee recently.
The match against England at Sao Paulo tonight will be his first appearance since going under the knife.
Diego Forlan makes way for Suarez, dropping to the bench, in one of five changes to the side.
Alvaro Pereira, Jose Maria Gimenez, Nicolas Lodeiro and Alvaro Gonzalez also come into the team.
