Barcelona have confirmed that Luis Suarez will not be reporting for international duty with Uruguay later this month, in order to rest and continue work on and improve his fitness after missing games earlier this season through injury.
Suarez has scored three goals in his last two appearances for Barça, including both of the team’s goals in the comeback win against Inter in the Champions League this week.
But with his fitness in mind, Barça and Uruguay staff have agreed for the 32-year-old to be left out of the squad for his country’s upcoming pair of friendlies against Peru in Montevideo and Lima, which would require lengthy travelling to and from South America.
