Suarez can make Barcelona debut in ‘Clasico’ at Real

BARCELONA’S Uruguay forward Luis Suarez can make his debut in the La Liga ‘Clasico’ at Real Madrid on October 25, the day after a FIFA ban for biting an opponent at the World Cup ends, the club said yesterday.

Spain’s professional league had earlier confirmed the date of the game, the first meeting of the bitter rivals since Real beat Barcelona 1-0 in last season’s Copa del Rey final. “Luis Suarez will be able to play in the ‘Clasico’ at the Santiago Bernabeu on Oct 25,” Barcelona said on its website. “The Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed to FC Barcelona that the Uruguayan forward’s sanction expires the day before.” CAS last month upheld FIFA’s decision to sideline Suarez for four months and ban him for nine internationals after he bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in Brazil.
