Kurt Bernard is another beneficiary of Rolando Jimanez's knee ligament injuries and is seen by many as a surprise inclusion in the squad.

The striker is a renowned goal poacher and proved that last season where he finished as the top scorer in the Costa Rican league.

The 28-year-old had only won two international caps prior to the World Cup squad announcement but his domestic form is such that there is every chance he will add to that this summer.
