Luis Suarez, 33, was sidelined for four months in January after undergoing surgery on his right knee but could make his comeback on June 13 when leaders Barcelona travel to Mallorca, for their first game since early March.
“It feels good to be back, adapting to training with my team-mates. Returning after an injury is always difficult, because you will feel scared but I am happy to be back” Suarez told the club’s website.
La Liga is set to restart with the Seville derby on June 11 and to be completed on July 19, yet the expectation is players will be subjected to safety precautions for several months and stadiums will not be full again until next year.
Suarez said, “We don’t always play in the middle of summer, so we are not used to it. We are adapting to playing without a crowd which will be peculiar”.
“We have to focus on winning games to win the league title, which is what we all want.”
Defending champions Barca hold a two-point lead over Real Madrid at the top with 11 rounds of matches still to be played.
