Barcelona Star Luis Suarez Picks Up Leg Injury During Dismal Defeat to Levante

Luis Suarez is set for an undetermined spell on the sidelines after Barcelona confirmed that the Uruguayan striker picked up an injury during la Blaugrana's 3-1 defeat to Levante on Saturday afternoon.

Barcelona led at half time thanks to a penalty from Lionel Messi, but Levante blew their visitors away with three goals in seven second-half minutes to clinch the game and pile the pressure on Ernesto Valverde.

Suarez received the blow in the first half, and was in too much pain to continue beyond the 40th minute. Carles Perez replaced the Barca star, and Barcelona announced on Saturday evening that the 32-year-old has suffered an injury to his right leg, and is currently unavailable for selection.
