Regarded as one of the finest players of his generation in Slovakia, Suslov has been regularly capped throughout all the categories of the national team. He debuted for the Slovak senior team on 18 November 2020 in a Nations League game against the Czech Republic, coming on as a substitute to Albert Rusnak in the 62nd minute and becoming the youngest Slovak footballer to debut at 18 years old.
