[FHISKER]

Luis Suárez has expressed a strong desire to return to the Uruguay national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite having previously announced his international retirement in 2024. The 39-year-old Inter Miami striker stated that he would never refuse a call-up if the national team needed him, especially with the tournament approaching. Uruguay’s all-time leading scorer admitted he stepped aside to allow younger players to develop, but now feels the timing of a World Cup could justify a comeback. This is the second time in recent weeks that Suárez has publicly hinted at reversing his retirement decision. Any potential return would depend on the coaching staff’s plans as Uruguay finalise their squad for the tournament.
