Costa Rica Sports News – Everton’s left back is battling to get back to full fitness following his horrific leg break at Stevenage in the FA Cup in January.
Costa Rica face England in the final Group D game in Brazil but Oviedo insists he will not play any part in the tournament if he is not 100 per cent ready.
He said: “I want be in the World Cup. It’s one of the best experiences a footballer can have but I need to be honest for my career for the next year.
“I want to be ready. I don’t want to be 80 per cent or 90 per cent because it’s dangerous for me and the team.
“I am working for the World but if it’s not possible then I am working to recover for next season because it will be very important for me.”
