Barcelona has confirmed that Luis Suarez suffered a right leg injury during his side’s defeat at Athletic Bilbao in Friday’s La Liga opener.
The Uruguayan was off in the 37th minute and was replaced in the central striker’s role by new signing Antoine Griezmann, but Bilbao veteran Aritz Aduriz stole the show by coming off the bench and snatching a 1-0 win with a spectacular scissor kick.
Barcelona did not reveal how long Suarez would be out of action, saying on Saturday he had a "right leg" injury.
Meanwhile, Messi sustained a calf injury in training earlier this month and was not deemed ready for the match.
