The suspended Barcelona forward that
was suspended for four months and nine international matches during the World
Cup where he was found guilty of bitting Italy defender Giorgio Chielline.
The striker has played just two
friendly matches since he joined Barcelona, once against Mexican Leon and the
other one against Indonesian sub 19 with Barcelona B as teammates.
He was unable to play in the Uruguay
national squad against Japan and South
Korea, but the current Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez included him in the
preliminary 29-man squad to play against Saudi Arabia on October 10 and against
Oman just three days later.
The competitive debut in Barcelona
will come on Octuber 25 against the Real Madrid in El Clasico at the Santiago
Bernabeu.
The games with the Uruguay national
squad will probably help Luis Suarez to regain his fitness and be in a perfect
shape for all the La Liga matches left after the ban.
Although still banned for the next
eight international competitive games, he hopes to survive the cut when the
coach selects the final squad.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport removed the
clause that banned him from any football activity, so remains the ability to
play friendly matches either with Barcelona or the national squad.
