Luis Suarez Says He Will Be Fit for Copa America After Surgery for Knee Injury

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez says he will be fit for the 2019 Copa America after being ruled out of the rest of Barcelona's season following knee surgery.

He told El Pais de Montevideo (h/t Sport): "Everything is going to be great; in one month I will be ready. It's not the same injury as 2017. That was a cartilage issue, and this time it's my meniscus."

Barcelona confirmed on Thursday the striker will be out for "around four to six weeks" after having arthroscopic surgery on a medial meniscus injury in his right knee.
