Barcelona striker Luis Suarez left Sunday’s Copa del Rey match against Sevilla in the 56th minute with an apparent hamstring injury.

Suarez attempted to play a ball on the run by extending his right leg out, and went down in pain shortly after. He was helped off the pitch in noticeable pain, and replaced by Rafinha.

The injury could affect Suarez’s participation in the Copa America; Uruguay’s first match is on June 5 against Mexico.
