By AFPMore by this AuthorMADRIDBarcelona striker Luis Suarez will be out of action for four months after keyhole surgery on his injured right knee, the Spanish champions announced on Sunday. The 32-year-old centre-forward has scored 14 goals from 23 appearances for Barcelona this season, with the club sitting atop the Spanish league and facing Napoli in the last-16 of the Champions League. Barcelona issued a press release saying the surgery on Suarez was for an "injury to the external meniscus of the right knee".

Suarez first underwent knee surgery in May 2014, returning in time to score twice against England at the end of June in the World Cup.
