Enjoying a great spell at Sporting, Luis Suárez handed major news | OneFootball

Luis Suárez has been called up for the Colombian national team. The 'shirt 97' of Sporting will represent his country in the preparation matches against Croatia and France, in the United States of America, on March 26 and 29, respectively.

The Colombian national team's training camp begins this Saturday, March 21, in Orlando. However, Suárez will join later, as Sporting will visit Alverca's ground on Sunday at 6:00 PM, in the 27th round of the Liga Portugal Betclic. The South American team will be Portugal's opponent in Group K of the World Cup.

Richard Ríos, his compatriot and rival in the championship, was also called up by Néstor Lorenzo. When they return to Portugal, the two Colombians will prepare to face each other in the Lisbon derby. The match between Sporting and Benfica is scheduled for April 19, still without official confirmation.

It should be noted that Luis Suárez - who has once again been distinguished in the championship - is the top scorer of the championship, with 23 goals in 24 games, establishing himself as the main offensive reference of Rui Borges' team. More than just scoring, he has been consistent, decisive, and practically indispensable in the leonine attack.

This season, wearing Sporting's jersey, Luis Suárez – valued at 28 million euros – has played 41 matches: 24 in Liga Portugal Betclic, ten in the Champions League, five in the Portuguese Cup, one in the League Cup, and another in the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup. In the 3,321 minutes he was on the field, the forward scored 32 goals and made five assists.
