Luis Suarez reveals that he will be back early

Luis Suarez's injury is one of the pending issues at Barcelona. He had to undergo knee surgery and was out for several months, but although he was expected to return by May, he will do so early. He himself revealed it in declarations to 'Referí'.

"I had been given until the beginning of May, but, after the meetings I had with the doctors, and because of the evolution I had, it is going to be a little early. The recovery is within the possibilities that we had handled and now, with this, there was a change, but the idea was clear,  to return earlier than planned", the player said.

"The doctor had told me that I was doing too well and that gave me hope to play again as soon as possible. When the team returns, I will be with them (his team-mates)," added the player. This is great news for the club, which could welcome a 'transfer' in the middle of the championship.

On how the season went for the squad, he analysed: "We went through some difficult times at the club, with unexpected results. Last year, with Liverpool, it had already happened the previous year with Roma. At the start of the season, there was a lot of talk about the change of manager (Ernesto Valverde), who was always very demanding".

"The Super Cup happened and we lost against Atletico in one of the best games we played in the season, but we were five minutes off and they eliminated us. That generated some concern among the board and they made the decision to dismiss the manager," he added.

He also spoke about the new manager. "Another manager (Quique Setién) came in the middle of the season and it's difficult to try changes or work the way he would like to, but I think this Barcelona squad has players who are able to adapt to what he is asking for. We were in a complicated period because Dembele got injured, I got injured, and these are factors that influence the team".
