Luiz Suarez Suffering From Semimembranosus Muscle

Luis Suarez does not know how long he will be sidelined for after the Barcelona star forward hobbled off in tears during Sunday's Copa del Rey triumph.

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 kick off its campaign in the United States on June 5 against Mexico.

However, neither Suarez nor coach Luis Enrique could shed light on the injury post-match at Vicente Calderon.

"I can't say anything about the injury because I don't know anything," Suarez told reporters.  we will have tests.

"A Barca club statement read: "Tests on Monday morning have confirmed that FC Barcelona striker Luis Suárez has suffered an injury to the semimembranosus muscle in his right leg.

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 has a hamstring injury that will take about three weeks for recovery," said Alberto Pan

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 its crown.
