Suarez suffers injury setback in surprise Barcelona defeat

Luis Suarez will undergo tests on his return to Barcelona after injuring his right calf during his side's shock 3-1 La Liga defeat to Levante.

The striker had to be replaced shortly before half-time in Saturday's match and Barca will make checks on the 32-year-old to "determine the exact extent of the discomfort".

Suarez appeared to be troubled by a foul from Carlos Clerc midway through the first half and, having tried to play on, was replaced by Carles Perez just after Lionel Messi's penalty had put Barca in front.
