Gremio brought in Luis Suarez at the beginning of the year as a big boost for the current season, but the question is how long they will be able to enjoy his performances. The surprising news comes from Brazil: El Pistolero is considering ending his career due to knee pain.The information was broadcast by the Brazilian Esportes GZH, and confirmed by the most reliable sports media in the country, Globo, adding that Suarez had already informed the leaders of Gremio about the possibility of hanging up his football boots on a peg. He has not set an exact date yet, but unfortunately, it seems it is getting closer.According to Globo, the 36-year-old attacker suffers from osteoarthritis, which causes him to suffer constant pain, and lately, he has often been seen holding on to his damaged right knee. The mentioned source recalls that in January 2020, Suarez injured the meniscus of the same knee, which required surgery. Also, before the World Cup in 2014, he underwent arthroscopy of his left knee. All this has now caught up with him…##NAJAVA_MECA_7331166##Gremio president Alberto Guerra also spoke about Suarez’s condition. The first man of the Tricolor did not hide that there is a possibility that El Pistolero will hang up his boots due to unbearable pain.”There is a possibility that he will get a prosthesis, the matter is serious. He received a lot of injections, took a lot of medicine. He is going to the extreme limits, but no one knows what they are,” Guerra said.Despite the seriousness of the situation, Globo writes that Suarez trained with the rest of the team in the previous days, and found himself in the line-up for the league game against America Mineiro. Not only that but he is reportedly expected to be in the starting line-up!🚨Luis Suarez might announce his retirement soon due to knee pain, which has become unbearable.

He signed the contract for two years, which is why the club plans to sit down with the Uruguayan in the next few days and try to come up with a scenario in which the former Barcelona striker will complete the contract with constant monitoring of the situation, and even the possibility of playing only matches at home.
