Barcelona's Luis Suarez to miss last-eight tie with Manchester United?

Luis Suarez to miss last-eight tie with Man United?

Barcelona forward Luis Suarez could miss his team's upcoming Champions League quarter-final with Manchester United after picking up an ankle injury during Sunday's La Liga clash with Real Betis.

Suarez was on the scoresheet in Barca's 4-1 victory in Seville, but had to be replaced in the latter stages of the contest after picking up a problem.

Barca, via their official Twitter page, have confirmed that the Uruguay international will undergo tests on Monday to determine the "exact extent of the injury".

There have been suggestions that the issue could rule the forward out of Barca's trip to Old Trafford in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on April 10, in addition to the return match six days later.

However, the Catalan giants are expected to deny or confirm the reports before the end of the day.

The 32-year-old has scored 21 times in 39 appearances for the Spanish champions this season but is yet to find the back of the net in the Champions League.
