“He will be out for 10-15 days and now undertake his recovery with the FC Barcelona medical team, having been withdrawn from the Uruguayan national team squad.”

The news is a big boost for Barcelona, and it’s possible Suarez could even better fit for their next game which is against Espanyol on March 30.
