It looks like Uruguay national team boss Marcelo Bielsa has no intention to bring back Inter Miami star Luis Suarez.

The international window is taking center stage with the Copa America drawing nearer, forcing many MLS sides such as Inter Miami to play games without key players. But it seems that Luis Suarez will be eligible for Gerardo Martino.
The Uruguayan striker does not appear on the list of players on international duty for the June window published by the Major League Soccer official website. This suggests Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa is not counting on Lucho for La Celeste‘s upcoming games.
Suarez, 37, is clearly not getting any younger, but his fantastic form in South Florida made people think a return to the international scene could be on the cards. In his first year in the US, the former Barcelona striker is making an impression with 14 goals and 7 assists in 20 games between MLS and Concacaf Champions Cup.
However, it looks like Bielsa is moving forward with a younger generation of players. The only Uruguayans in MLS who appear on the list published by the league are Orlando City stars Cesar Araujo and Facundo Torres, along with LAFC forward Cristian Olivera.
Inter Miami, meanwhile, will have four players on international duty. Their most notable absence will be Lionel Messi, who is set to take part in the Copa America with Argentina, while Benjamin Cremaschi (USMNT U-23), Matias Rojas (Paraguay) and David Ruiz (Honduras) will also be out.
