Luis Suarez To Continue Recovery With Uruguay

Barcelona have granted Luis Suarez permission to travel to his native Uruguay next week to join up with the national team for their World Cup Qualifiers against Argentina and Paraguay, even though he is recovering from a knee injury.

Suarez suffered trauma to his right knee in Barca's 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid on August 16, with a club medical report stating he would be out of action for four weeks.

A statement from Barca on Friday “Luis Suarez is recovering favourably from the knee injury he suffered in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Barcelona's medical services and the Uruguayan Football Association have agreed that the player will join up with his national team next week to continue his recovery work.”
