Luis Suárez gave Diego Simeone a headache

Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez, who's suspended and will not play against Betis on Sunday, suffered a muscle injury in his left leg in training on Tuesday and caused concern in Atlético Madrid, leaders of La Liga that in the final stretch is stalked by Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The Uruguayan felt discomfort in training and the medical tests that were carried out after the session confirmed that he has a muscle injury in his left leg and his recovery was pending evolution, the Madrid club reported on its official website, but it is estimated that will be out of the courts for at least two weeks.

Suárez was already confirmed low for Sunday's game against Betis for the 30th date of La Liga due to suspension but this injury could leave him out of other games, which would be a sensitive loss in the team led by Argentine Diego Cholo Simeone. The Uruguayan is the scorer for "Atleti" with 19 goals and last Sunday in the defeat against Sevilla (1-0) he received the fifth yellow card.

The team of Cholo Simeone's the leader with 66 points but one has Barcelona and three Real Madrid, the defending champion who has not yet come down from the fight. This weekend Real Madrid and Barcelona will star in the Spanish classic and Atlético Madrid still has to play against the Catalans, so the next date will be important for the future in La Liga.
