Barcelona forward Luis Suarez is likely to miss Uruguay's friendly matches against South Korea and Japan, which are scheduled for 12 and 16 October respectively.

The national team coach Oscar Tabarez gave Suarez a green light to stay at home as his wife is expected to give birth to the couple's third child in mid-October.

However, in case a baby is born earlier, Suarez may be included in Uruguay's squad in these friendlies.
