Barcelona deny pact with Uruguay for Luis Suarez to miss Colombia game
Josep Vives has responded to rumours Barça didn't want their No.9 to play next month
Barcelona, through their spokesman Josep Vives, have denied an agreement is in place with Uruguay and Luis Suarez for the player to miss one of their two upcoming World Cup qualifying games.
In Uruguay it’s been reported Suarez would miss the game against Colombia, which follows October’s match with Venezuela.
The detail that had alarmed the AUF (Uruguayan FA) is the following: Barça have given permission for Suarez to do an interview at the club’s training ground on October 10, one day before Colombia vs. Uruguay.
“These rumours are completely false; there is absolutely no pact involving Suarez,” Vives said.
“If his national team manager calls him up and he is fit to play, he will do so as normal.”
Curiously, if Suarez gets booked against Venezuela, he will miss the clash with Colombia through card accumulation anyway.
