Everton defender Bryan Oviedo will not face England at the World Cup this summer after it was confirmed he will not recover from his broken leg in time. The Costa Rica full-back broke his tibia and fibula during the FA Cup fourth-round victory at Stevenage in January and was immediately ruled out for the rest of the season but was making good progress to be fit in time for this summer's tournament in Brazil. However, Costa Rica team doctor Alejandro Ramirezhas confirmed he will need more recovery time and will not be available to play in the Ticos opening game against Uruguay on 14 June, or either of their subsequent Group D games against Italy or England. "Today he was told to do some physical activity on a hard surface and showed some pains during the activity," he told Costa Rican newspaper Al Dia. "It means the player will be in no physical nor medical shape to play the World Cup." Source: FIFA.com
