Barcelona crock Luis Suarez a doubt for Man Utd clash

Barcelona ace Luis Suarez is a doubt for their Champions League clash with Manchester United.

Suarez suffered a sprained ankle in their 4-1 win over Real Betis on Sunday after he had scored a stunning solo effort earlier in the game.

The Uruguayan was replaced in stoppage time and underwent further tests on Monday to discover the extent of the damage.

The club announced he will be out for 10-15 days and he was withdrawn from international duty with Uruguay to undergo treatment in Spain, says the Mirror.

Suarez is likely to be fit for their trip to Old Trafford on April 10 before the second leg at the Nou Camp six days later.

But he still faces far from ideal preparation - and any setbacks could see him become a serious doubt for the key quarter-final clash.
