Luis Suarez is to have a knee problem corrected during the international break, having been left out of the Uruguay squad for family reasons.
The Barcelona striker confirmed he will begin a course of treatment on Monday, after reportedly complaining of pain during the 4-2 Champions League win over Tottenham at Wembley on Wednesday.
"On Monday, I start a treatment for my knee, which has nothing to do with my absence from the national team," Suarez told Uruguayan newspaper Referi.
"I am not going because my wife is expecting family in those days."
It is unclear whether Suarez's latest problem is with the same knee in which he had pain during the early weeks of last season.
