From Sporting Life (apologies if already posted)

Liverpool fear Luis Suarez may not be available for the start of the new season because of his Copa America commitments.

The 24-year-old has played a key role in Uruguay's run to the Copa America semi-finals but his country's unexpected success could now delay his return to Liverpool for pre-season training.

Should Uruguay go all the way in the Copa America it would leave Suzarez with only a three-week break before the start of the new Premier League campaign next month.

Liverpool coach Steve Clarke has insisted the club are prepared for any late arrivals, of the belief the size of their squad is sufficient to cope.

"Now in football you just have to accept that different countries and different continents have different have their own tournaments and their own times," he said.

"It's up to the boys to go there and do their best for their countries.

"When they come back we'll assess them fitness wise, physically and mentally, then we'll decide how we fit them into our training schedule.

"If they are ready to start the season, fine. But if they need a bit of time to recover, that's why you have a big squad. It will give other people a chance."

It does highlight a need for a new striker possibly.

I am sure we can play with Carroll up front and Downing and Kuyt flanking him though.

Surely 3 weeks is enough break aint it?

Why can't this go in the Suarez thread, so annoying when people open pointless threads

Didn't we already know this, pretty sure it was mentioned before the tournament started about him and Lucas.

edge · « **Reply #5 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:04:15 pm »

Heard they have a contract-manifested right to 4 weeks off.

Think Luis is a good sport though. He'll probably be back by Sunderland.

XabiArt · « **Reply #6 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:04:20 pm »

Fucking hell I thought he'd broken his leg or summats.

Didnt we already know all this?

LiverpoolForever · « **Reply #7 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:05:14 pm »

We now have a squad that can cope with Suarez needing a week extra.

Hope 4 weeks is long enough with Arsenal coming up on the 2nd game of the season though.

meh, hes not that important anyway. if it was Lucas - THEN id be worried

My thoughts too, plus he must have had a few weeks off before the cope america started?

El Campeador · « **Reply #11 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:06:51 pm »

Who cares, it's not like he's gonna be out till Christmas. We got a strong enough squad to cope for a match or three. Let the kid have a beer and take it easy.

It's Jimmy Corkhill · « **Reply #12 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:07:07 pm »

Reckon him and Lucas will be ready by Arsenal.

itsgunnabebarnes! · « **Reply #13 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:08:21 pm »

This is just why we should never have signed him.

maqu006 · « **Reply #14 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:08:35 pm »

If we can't win a game without him, then we can all go home.

Not injured, gets two-three weeks off before the new season - he might miss the first game but it's hardly a worry, is it?

McMahon · « **Reply #25 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:12:27 pm »

If anythink he will be fitter than the rest of the squad, have a bit of a brake, light traing and he will be ready to go.

Pre-season is all about getting fit. Suarez will not need that preperation time due to his involvement in the Copa America. 3 weeks will be enough rest time.

Did look and it was all about diving and where he should play. This post was about his potential unavailability which is quite a bit different, so your comment is irrelevant and should be deleted - thank you.

telekon · « **Reply #31 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:20:41 pm »

Come on mate, that headline is misleading at best. Like he would worry for [about] Liverpool.

And why not post this in his forum instead?

I'm not bringing anything new to the discussion, and I mostly feel more annoyance towards people who shout "WFT why new topic" etc, but this one surely doesn't deserve a thread.

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #32 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:22:26 pm »

No drama's here - we have Ngog to play for us until the last day of the transfer window where he gets sold for 7mill to West Brom, and then Suarez can pick up the slack after a nice 4 week break.

EDIT: In all seriousness, we only have 3 league games before the end of August, and I am sure we can do without him until then ffs. Give him plenty of time to rest, and bring him back after the international break for the league match on the 10th Sept.

As far as I know, Suarez is known for his commitment to his club after travelling to South America. When he was at Ajax, he would never miss a weekend game after playing for Uruguay during the midweek. I reckon he will be desperate to play and won't take that much time off.

farawayred · « **Reply #34 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:25:19 pm »

This is a good worry to have - a player who has been extremely successful and overachieved with his country will be coming back buzzing with confidence. This feeling is even stronger for South American players who value the Copa and the Olympics more than others.

CHOPPER · « **Reply #35 on:** July 19, 2011, 09:26:46 pm »

He's leaving us isn't he? Tell me he isn't, please!

Yep.

If it were up to him, he'd probably take one week of complete relaxation, one week of light training, and then one week of full training, and be ready for Sunderland.

Or something like that.

What ever happened to that Uruguyan/Aussie poster who kept telling us he's off to Barca? He was good value that lad.
