Suarez in the dark over extent of injury

The Uruguay international
hobbled off in the Copa del Rey
final against Sevilla and both
the forward and his manager
are in the dark over the extent
of the problem
Barcelona striker Luis Suarez
does not know how long he
will be out for after he hobbled
off in tears during Sunday’s
Copa del Rey victory over Sevilla.
Suarez looked visibly distressed
as he was helped off the pitch
with an apparent hamstring
injury just shy of the hour-
mark, before Barca went on to
win 2-0 after extra time in
Madrid.
The muscle injury has thrown
Suarez’s Copa America
Centenario commitments up in
the air, with Uruguay set to
begin their campaign in the
United States on June 5.
However, neither Suarez nor
coach Luis Enrique were able to
shed any light on the injury
post-match at Vicente Calderon.
“I can’t say anything about the
injury because I don’t know
anything,” Suarez was quoted
as saying.
“Tomorrow [Monday] we will
have tests.”
Luis Enrique, whose Barca
claimed back-to-back Copa del
Rey titles thanks to Jordi Alba
and Neymar, added: “Suarez is
injured, sadly. We’ll know how
bad it is after he had tests in
Barcelona.”
Suarez – who missed last year’s
Copa America as he served a
length suspension for biting
Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014
World Cup – ended his club
season with 59 goals in all
competitions, 40 of those
coming in La Liga as Barca
defended their crown.
