Uruguay striker Luis Suarez limped out of Barcelona's Copa del Rey
final against Sevilla, putting his Copa America participation in doubt.
Barcelona star Luis Suarez may be a doubt for Uruguay's Copa America Centenario campaign after limping out of the Copa del Rey final on Sunday.
Suarez
hurt his hamstring while stretching for the ball as Barcelona took on
Sevilla and was replaced by Rafinha after 57 minutes at the Vicente
Calderon.
Barca were already down to 10 men in the
Copa del Rey final after Javier Mascherano was sent off in the first
half for hauling down Sevilla striker Kevin Gameiro.
Uruguay's Copa America campaign starts on June 5 against Group C rivals Mexico.
Suarez
ended his domestic season with 59 goals in all competitions, including
40 in La Liga as Barca defended their league crown.
The
striker missed last year's Copa America as a result of his lengthy
international ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup,
returning with a goalscoring display in March's World Cup qualifier
against Brazil.
