Barcelona forward Luis Suarez set to miss out three months of football as he is to undergo a knee surgery following a Supercopa Espana defeat to Atletico Madrid.
According to the club statement, Suarez would be treated for an injury on the external meniscus on his right knee by club doctor Ramon Cugat and after the procedure the club would release further details on when he will return.
The 32-year-old has made 23 appearances for Barca this season in all competitions, scoring 14 goals.
The Uruguayan has been suffering the same knee problem as he underwent surgery last May, which forced him to miss the Copa del Rey final defeat to Valencia.
