Uruguayan fans will await the results of the tests with bated breath, as the Copa American Centenario kicks off in two weeks, with 15-time winners Los Charruas facing Mexico on June 5 in Group C play.
The 59-goal striker took to Twitter hours after Barcelona's record 28th Copa win, and the former Liverpool man conceded that he will have a scan in hopes of being in Oscar Tabarez's squad.
Ahora a esperar las pruebas de mañana. Espero que no sea nada y pueda estar con mi selección la semana que viene. Gracias por el apoyo!!!!

The tweet translates to, "Now to await tests tomorrow. I hope it's nothing and can be with my selection next week. Thanks for the support!!!!"
A competitor whose killer instinct on the pitch often takes priority over better judgment (see: biting people), Suarez was in tears as he sat on the Barcelona bench after being subbed off for Rafinha.
