The news will be a blow as Suarez has been in good goalscoring form. He was named La Liga’s Player of the Month for December and has 14 goals in all competitions this season.

Barcelona are already without Ousmane Dembele due to injury, and Suarez’s forthcoming absence reduces their options in attack even further.

Suarez’s injury is likely to be good news for Antoine Griezmann, who could be moved into a move central role, while Ansu Fati and Carles Perez wil also come into the reckoning.
