Barcelona striker Luis Suarez is in doubt for next month's Copa America.

King's Cup PIX: Barca complete double with win over Sevilla

Barca top scorer Luis Suarez limped off injured just before the hour mark, with the Uruguayan crying on the bench midway through the Copa del Rey final win over Sevilla.

The Uruguayan departed just before the hour mark of a bad-tempered final which saw three players sent off as goals in extra-time from Jordi Alba and Neymar handed Barca a 2-0 win and a 28th cup triumph.

"It is something muscular. Until the doctors look at him in Barcelona we won't know the extent of the injury," said Barca boss Luis Enrique.

"Now we have to wait for the tests tomorrow," Suarez posted on his official Twitter account.

"I hope it is nothing and I can be with my national team next week. Thank you for the support."
