Atletico Madrid confirms Luis Suarez suffered an injury in training today, the former Barcelona player is set to miss a couple of crucial games for the Los Rojiblancos.
Athletico Madrid currently seat at top of the La Liga table with a one-point lead over rivals Barcelona who has been in the form of their lives, since the start of 2021.
Atletico’s title hopes have taken a dash in recent weeks, with poor results allowing Barcelona to narrow the gap at the top to just one point, so an injury to their top goalscorer would come as another blow.
The Uruguayan will miss the Real Betis match due to suspension, but further tests will now reveal whether he will be absent for any further games.
Suarez has been injury-free since joining Atletico last summer from Barcelona.
Only a positive COVID test saw him miss the start of the season, and Diego Simeone will now be sweating over the fitness of his main striker.
Barcelona has played 14 games, won 13 games and just one draw so far in 2021 as they remain unbeaten in the La Liga since the start of 2021.
