TEMPO.CO, Barcelona - Luis Suarez can make his debut in the La Liga 'Clasico' at Real Madrid on October 25. Suarez's ban by FIFA for biting Italian Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup will end on October 24, 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 Barca 1-0 in last season's King's Cup final.
"Luis Suarez will be able to play in the 'Clasico' at the Santiago Bernabeu on Oct. 25," Barcelona said on their website. "The Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed to FC Barcelona that the Uruguayan forward's sanction expires the day before," they added.
Barca’s decision in presenting Suarez in the prestigious league all depends on the decision of coach Luis Enrique. Suarez joined Barca from Liverpool for US$105 million or around Rp1.3 trillion transfer.
