Uruguay doctor plays down Suarez knee injury
Montevideo (Uruguay), Oct 8 (IANS) Striker Luis Suarez does not need immediate surgery to remove a cyst from his right knee, according to Uruguay football team doctor Alberto Pan.
Suarez, who has scored just twice in eight matches for Barcelona this season, is not risking long-term damage by playing with the injury, Pan told Uruguay’s Radio Universal, reports Xinhua news agency.
“It is not good to create a history of problems when problems do not exist,” Pan said.
“The meniscal cyst is a pathology that produces suffering when not receiving treatment, but normally is allowed to evolve to see the degree of tolerance before going through various therapeutic sessions.
“If the presence of the cyst causes him discomfort, decisions will be made. But right now he does not need surgery,” he added.
Suarez trained normally with Uruguay’s squad on the outskirts of Montevideo on Saturday as the Celeste prepare for their final World Cup qualifier against Bolivia on Tuesday.
Oscar Tabarez’s team are already guaranteed of at least a playoff berth and need only a draw at Montevideo’s Centenario stadium to secure a direct place in Russia.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
