Luis Enrique Dismisses Rumour of Suarez ”Overweight”
- Updated: September 27, 2014
Luis Suarez’s appearance for Barcelona B against Indonesia U19s earlier this week ended with the Uruguayan scoring two goals but also sparked a debate over his weight.
The striker appeared heavier than usual in some pictures—perhaps a reflection that he has not been able to play anything but the occasional friendly since his four-month ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
In Spain, the debate was particularly keen, with Friday’s lead story in El Mundo Deportivo suggesting that a special programme was being designed to get Suarez back in shape for his return later next month:
Barca boss Luis Enrique, asked about the rumours, denied all.
According to quotes from Goal, Enrique said: “Suarez overweight? Not at all, that’s just press talk. That’s his normal weight, he was like that in Liverpool too.”
Whether he’s at his optimum weight, he’ll certainly have some rustiness to shake off before making his debut in the Clasico.
