Apple TV pundit Bradley Wright-Phillips has claimed that Luis Suarez’s movement hasn’t been great since joining Inter Miami this year.
The Uruguay international made the move to MLS in January after Suarez left Gremio at the end of his contract having enjoyed in an incredible year in Brazil, making over 40 goal contributions.

Luis Suarez has lost movement since joining Inter Miami, says pundit
And speaking on This is MLS, former New York Red Bulls star Wright-Phillips claimed that Suarez’s movement in recent games could become a concern this season.
Whilst the attacker bagged an assist last night, Suarez’s fitness will be a major concern for Inter Miami, with the striker arguably the best finisher in MLS.
Wright-Phillips said about Suarez since joining Inter Miami: “I’ll give Luis Suarez 15 goals in all competitions. But going off pre-season, I didn’t see him scoring 15 goals in MLS.
“I don’t think Suarez is moving well, but the one glimmer of hope I give him is that he’s getting chances. He hasn’t taken them, but for a player of his calibre and stature, if he does start hitting some form, you’re going to see goals, but not 15 in MLS.”
Inter Miami need to keep their Uruguayan superstar fit this season
Inter Miami’s success this season will be directly pinned to the fitness of key players, with Suarez someone the Heron’s can’t afford to lose to injury.
The former FC Barcelona and Liverpool superstar is one of the best attackers in MLS and a player who will be driven to end his career on a massive high.
And Inter Miami need to ensure that they re keeping the forward fit for all occasions, with Suarez’s knee issues something that could bring about a premature end to the season for the striker.
