"Suarez is injured, unfortunately. It is a muscle problem. We are not able to say how bad it is yet."
Suarez was expected to be a key player in Uruguay's Copa America campaign after having a phenomenal season in La Liga. He scored 59 goals in all competitions and finished top of the league's goal-scoring charts with 40 goals, five more than Cristiano Ronaldo.

UPDATE: Following Monday's tests, Barcelona have issued a statement regarding Suarez's fitness.
"Tests on Monday morning have confirmed that FC Barcelona striker Luis Suárez has suffered an injury to the semimembranosus muscle in his right leg." "Following the recommendations of the Club's medical services team, the 2015/16 Golden Shoe winner will begin his rehabilitation in Barcelona. On 1 June, Suárez will join the Uruguay national team in the United States, where he'll continue with the second phase of his recovery."
