Lionel Messi hurt his left knee in Barcelona's 2-1 win over Las Palmas before Luis Suarez scored a brace to lift the defending champions provisionally to the top of the Spanish league on Saturday. The club's all-time leading scorer asked to be substituted in the eighth minute after he had tried to return to the match following a collision with Las Palmas' Diego Bigas. The club said he has been taken to hospital for tests. With Messi gone, Suarez took charge of the hosts' attack. The Uruguay striker headed in Barcelona's first goal in the 25th minute before he struck again in the 54th. Barceona's Neymar missed a penalty in the 66th before Las Palmas forward Jonathan Viera scored in the 88th. Real Madrid can restore its league lead with a win over Malaga later.
