But this is Suarez we are talking about. Physically you can't compare him to many other athletes. He recovered from a pretty serious injury in record timing. Took him 4 weeks, when it takes most footballers between 2-4 months eg. Torres with the same injury.
Training on his own isn't a big problem. Being banned is a setback but they might be able to get him cheaper. Even if they can't, getting a world class striker in his prime is worth it, even if he is banned for 2 months.
Preseason also involves tactical work. Barcelona's system is very different and not going through a preaseason that can help him adapt to it, isn't good.
Knowing how to associate himself with team mates is of vital importance, and that's something he can't train on his own.
