Suarez ruled out for PSV visit as Coutinho, Rakitic return

Barcelona's unlucky run of injuries has its latest casualty, with star striker Luis Suarez sidelined for two weeks due to a knee issue.

It's not all bad news for the Catalans ahead of Wednesday's Champions League trip to PSV, though, with the club announcing on Monday that both Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Rakitic returned to first-team training.

Suarez, who played the full 90 minutes in Saturday's away draw at Atletico Madrid, has been diagnosed with discomfort in his right knee. He'll now seek "biological therapy" for an ailment that's expected to rule the Uruguayan out for two weeks.

Joining Suarez on the treatment table are backup shot-stopper Jasper Cillessen and impressive midfield newcomer Arthur, with the latter missing out on the Champions League squad because of a groin concern.

Rakitic's return comes as a minor surprise after the Croatian talisman missed a match against England with an undisclosed ailment that national team boss Zlatko Dalic called a "serious injury."

Barcelona head to the Netherlands having already guaranteed progression from Group B, qualifying for the knockout stage of Europe's marquee competition for the 18th season on the spin.
