Luis Suarez will miss the clash between Uruguay and Brazil, and the next club competition in the La Luga Santander against Barcelona, the UEFA Champions League match against Lokomotiv Moscow, and even doubt for the match against Valencia as the isolation period fall between these periods.

He is presently asymptomatic and would undergo a 14-day isolation period.
