LUIS JAVIER SUAREZ NEWS

Joining Almeria in January Suarez will join Almeria on a loan for the rest of the season with an option to buy from Marseille, it was announced Monday. The deal will trigger when the January transfer window...

Impact Suarez is a known commodity in the Spanish leagues but started just three times in 11 appearances for the French club before returning to the Iberian Peninsula. He did score three times and log one assist before the World Cup, so Suarez will hope to pick things up in a more familiar climate. He once scored 17 goals in a season for Zaragoza in the second division but struggled for consistency with Granada between 2019 and 2021. With his new club, Suarez will work with El Bilal Toure as they continue to search for more goals following Umar Sadiq's departure.

Creates one chance in loss Suarez created one chance from two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's scoreless draw with Espanyol.

Impact Suarez only played for 61 minutes of the most important game all season and never looked likely to make a massive impact. A big-money signing before the 2017/18 campaign, he should stick with Granada as they try to quickly return from relegation unless a notable offer comes in.

Impact Suarez has racked up one goal on 10 shots (three on target), one assist and three crosses (one accurate) in his last five appearances but will have to settle for a spot on the bench as he works his way back to full fitness.

Suspended against Levante Suarez will miss Sunday's clash against Levante with a suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Impact Suarez picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in last weekend's defeat to Sevilla, meaning he will be suspended for Sunday's game. Darwin Machis and Jorge Molina will likely start up front in his absence, though Myrto Uzuni also has a shot to make the lineup.

Impact Suarez set up Darwin Machis' opener on Friday, but Sevilla eventually proved to have too much and finished with all three points. Suarez is up to seven goals and four assists in a much improved second season in La Liga, and he'll be looking for more next weekend against 19th-placed Levante, which have conceded 58 times in 30 matches.

Nets winner off bench versus Alaves Suarez scored a goal off three shots (one on target) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3-2 win over Alaves.

Impact Suarez was brought in the 62nd minute as part of a double substitution when his side was losing by 2-1. And he was instrumental for his side to get this huge come-from-behind win to leave the relegation zone. First, the forward was involved on the aerial play that led to Antonio Puertas's equalizer. Then, in the 87th minute, the striker slotted home a pass from the left flank to score the game-winning goal for Granada. This was the seventh goal of the season for Suarez, who came off the bench for just the second time this season. He'll probably be back in the starting XI for Apr. 3 home clash against Rayo Vallecano.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots in loss Suarez took four shots (one on goal) in 77 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Elche.

Impact Suarez at least had more attempts under new manager Ruben Torrecilla than he'd recently had under Robert Moreno, but it didn't result in a serious impact on the score line. The stakes will only get higher against Deportivo Alaves, which is quickly becoming a competitor in the race to avoid relegation.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Shotless in loss Suarez failed to take a shot in 76 minutes of Sunday's 3-1 loss to Granada.

Impact Suarez has fallen in a rut along with his teammates as he's failed to score in five straight starts. As he'll next face Valencia, which have conceded the third-most goals in La Liga, Suarez needs to perform better than he has recently.

Impact Suarez looked fairly frustrated during Sunday's game, as he was often running down the wings and put in some decent crosses but no one was on the receiving end. With Ruben Rochina back, Suarez could have better luck in the attack as he's found the net in just one of the last 11 matches.

FEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes two shots in loss Suarez took two shots (both off target) in 63 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 loss to Real Madrid.

Impact Suarez has had some hard work to do in recent matches but it didn't pay off in Sunday's trip to the capital. With Granada now winless in five matches but Suarez having two goals in that time, he's a good option from his side as any, though a turn in form will help things across the side. Up next is a trip to Real Sociedad.

Creates two chances in loss Suarez created two chances from three crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Osasuna.

Impact Suarez failed to take a shot at home after scoring twice in the road loss to Getafe earlier in the week.

Up next are two difficult trips to Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.

Impact Suarez was able to score for the first time in eight games but a lackluster defensive performance ended a streak of seven games without defeat. Despite the issues elsewhere, seeing that Suarez remains in good spirits and he received help on one goal from Jorge Molina, there's still plenty of benefit to gain from this side. Up next is a match against Osasuna, which have conceded 27 goals in 21 matches.

JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates two chances in draw Suarez created two chances from three crosses (zero accurate) and put two shots off target during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Suarez hasn't found the net in seven straight matches but he was still plenty threatening in the attack to keep his side in Saturday's solid draw. With three assists from seven chances in his last four starts, Suarez serves as a creative forward while Jorge Molina has found more direct chances on goal. Up next is a trip to Getafe, which are tied for the fourth-fewest goals conceded in La Liga.

Takes four shots in draw Suarez took four shots (two on goal) during Sunday's scoreless draw with Elche.

Impact Suarez battled with Luis Suarez for the first time and it was this one that ended up on the right side as he set up Jorge Molina's game-winning goal. With three assists in his last two matches and seven shots taken, Suarez has been passed up by Molina as the side's top scorer but has found himself a good role as the forward on the ball. It will be interesting to see if his form holds up at Elche, which are tied for the fourth-most goals conceded in La Liga.

DECEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Logs two assists in win Suarez provided two assists from two chances created and took five shots (zero on goal) during Sunday's 4-1 win over Mallorca.

DECEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes five shots in draw Suarez took five shots (two on goal) during Monday's 1-1 draw with Cadiz.

DECEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Shotless in draw Suarez failed to take a shot during Friday's 2-2 draw with Athletic Club.

Impact One may expect Suarez to make a bigger impact on the scoreline than he finished with, but that title goes to the now-injured Darwin Machis, whose role Suarez had to fill and it pulled him away from getting as close to goal as he could. Still, Suarez put together a few strong dribbles and looked confident, so one can hope that he remains on track against Deportivo Alaves in his next match.
