'Sport': Suarez could go to theatre after Super Cup defeat

Luis Suarez's knee problems continue. The Uruguayan, fed up with having problems with his joints, has apparently decided to have an operation. This would put an end to the problems and he would then be fully fit for the back end of the season. 

According to the cited source, Suarez will visit Dr Cugat in Barcelona. The most practical solution, according to 'Sport', is for him to go to theatre to put an end to these problems. 

An operation would mean Ernesto Valverde would be without an important player for some time. Barcelona would be without their only number 9 for several weeks. You have to add the absence of Ousmane Dembele to that. 

Luis Suarez's target is to be back fully fit for the business end of the season. The Uruguayan has played the last few games after being given painkillers and he hopes to get the pained sorted out to not repeat errors from the past. 

It is worth remembering that the Uruguayan striker went to theatre at the end of last season. After being knocked out in Liverpool, Suarez was operated on the meniscus in his right knee. That made him miss the Copa del Rey, something he was heavily criticised for, because he went to the Copa America afterwards.

It is the same knee, the right one, which is causing him problems this season. Because of the possible seriousness of it, the Uruguayan prefers to get operated on it to recover fully ahead of fighting for titles at the end of the campaign.
