The Argentina forward was withdrawn
in the first half with what looked like a serious injury, before the in-form
Uruguay striker took the game away from the visitors.
A first
half injury to Lionel Messi overshadowed a comfortable 2-1 Barcelona win over
Las Palmas in Saturday's La Liga clash.
Barcelona went 1-0 up in the first half through a fine Luis Suarez header, but it was the injury to the Argentine, shortly before the goal, that concerned the Catalan club most.
Messi went down with what looked like a knee injury and was withdrawn on 10 minutes to be replaced by young forward Munir.
And Suarez managed to add to his first half goal after the break, blasting the ball into the roof of the net after 54 minutes to put Barcelona in a commanding position, though Neymar was not able to relieve Los Cules recent penalty worries, missing after 66 minutes following a foul on Suarez.
