Barcelona striker Luis Suarez will join up with his Uruguay team for the Copa America on June 1 despite doctors diagnosing that he had suffered a hamstring injury, the Catalan club announced. Suarez hobbled off in tears midway through the Copa del Rey final win over Sevilla after sustaining the injury to a muscle in the back of his thigh.
"Tests on Monday morning have confirmed that FC Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has suffered an injury to the semimembranosus muscle in his right leg," Barca said in a statement. "On 1 June, Suarez will join the Uruguay national team in the United States, where he'll continue with the second phase of his recovery."
