Barcelona forward Luis Suarez has suggested that he has suffered no ill-effects from the knee injury which has kept him sidelined for much of 2020.

In January, the Uruguay international was ruled out for four months, realistically keeping him absent until the final two games of the La Liga campaign.

However, having been provided with extra time to recover due to the coronavirus pandemic, Suarez has hinted that he will be ready to feature against Mallorca on June 13.

Speaking to the club's official website, the 33-year-old said: "I feel very good, adapting to training with my teammates. Returning after an injury is always difficult, because you are a little scared but I'm enjoying being back."

At a time when Barcelona are attempting to find a long-term replacement for Suarez, he has contributed 11 goals and seven assists from just 17 league appearances this season.
