Bad news one after another, Harvey didn't come, barwade still had to finish class, and Suarez was seriously injured at this time. On Sunday night local time in Spain, Barcelona officially announced that the Uruguayan striker had undergone meniscus surgery on his right knee and would be absent for four months, which also means that Suarez has basically bid farewell to the 2019-2020 season in advance if Barcelona cannot reach the Champions League final.
After last season's Champions League semi-final, Suarez underwent meniscus surgery on his right knee and missed the rest of the games, and then returned to the Copa America. Last week, after the Spanish Super Cup against Atletico Madrid, the Uruguayan had another problem with his knee and underwent surgery.
Based on the four-month recovery period, Suarez will return around May 13. At that time, the Champions League semi-final has ended, and only the last two rounds of La Liga are left, which will be held on May 17 and May 24 respectively. Coupled with the recovery time after his return, the Uruguayan striker is unlikely to participate in these two games. This season's Champions League final will be held on May 30. If Barcelona can reach the final, Suarez has a chance.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Barcelona. Suarez has scored 14 goals in 23 appearances this season, scored 6 goals and 10 assists in nearly 10 games. When Dembele is also injured, Barcelona has only Messi, glizman and two young players Fati and Peres. The previous news is that Suarez may be absent for only six weeks, so Barcelona did not have the idea of introducing a striker in the winter transfer market. Now it is different. Barcelona is likely to need reinforcements, but before that, we have to determine the coach for the second half of the season.
