Darwin Nunez has hailed fellow Uruguayan Luis Suarez as rumours that the star is set to retire gather pace.
Suarez, 36, joined Brazilian team Gremio in January, banging a hat trick on debut as he helped the club claim their state league title. However, the striker has also been troubled by a long term knee injury, leading to reports that he's set to call time on his colourful career.
Indeed, last month, club President Alberto Guerra outlined the struggles of his iconic forward, admitting: "Luis Suarez is reaching the limit, in order to be able to play he gives himself almost daily injections and special treatments, he is in constant pain. It is serious. Suarez has the possibility of being fitted with a prosthesis."
