The monument, which was in the city of Salto, was toppled on Saturday, while Suarez and others were away at the wedding of his club team-mate Lionel Messi.
While being taken away to be refurbished, a note has been replaced in the spot, stating: 'I went to Messi's wedding, I'll be back soon.'
According to local media, the person responsible for the fallen icon has already been arrested.
