Luis Suarez will reportedly be out for 4-5 weeks after he sustained a knee injury in Barcelona's Spanish Super Cup defeat to Real Madrid.

The Uruguay national team confirmed the news that had earlier been reported by RAC1, a local radio station in Barcelona.

A statement read that Suarez would be out for "at least four to five weeks" after suffering a knee injury playing for his club.

Uruguay face Argentina on August 31 and then Paraguay on September 5th in World Cup qualifying.
