It has not yet been confirmed how long the 34-year-old will be out but it is expected he could be sidelined for a number of weeks.

This is a massive blow to Diego Simeone, who has seen his side be caught up by Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga.

Los Rojiblancos now have only a one point lead over Barça following the 1-0 defeat to Sevilla on Sunday.

Losing Suárez would be another dent in their title hopes with the summer signing having scored 19 league goals so far this season.
