Suarez sidelined 4 months by knee operation - Barcelona

Madrid - Barcelona striker Luis Suarez will be out of action for four months after keyhole surgery on his injured right knee, the Spanish champions said 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.

The club issued a press release saying the surgery was for an "injury to the external meniscus of the right knee".
