Suarez Expected to Make Cut For Copa America Despite an Injury

Madrid: Barcelona say striker Luis Suarez is expected to travel to the United States to join Uruguay's national team for the Copa America despite a hamstring injury.

Barcelona says tests on Monday confirmed that Suarez sustained a right-leg muscle injury in the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla on Sunday.

It says Suarez will begin his rehabilitation in Barcelona before joining the Uruguayan squad on June 1 in the United States, where 'he'll continue with the second phase of his recovery'.

Uruguay open in the Copa America on June 5.

Suarez was in tears after being substituted in the 56th minute of Barcelona's 2-0 extra time win over Sevilla at the Vicente Calderon Stadium in Madrid.
