Luis Suarez handed Barcelona debut against Real Madrid; Xavi starts
Four months later, Luis Suarez is back.
The million dollar question, Luis Enrique told reporters on Friday, was how many minutes the Uruguayan striker would be handed on his return to competitive football.
Barça's boss confirmed he would play, but didn't reveal whether that would be from the start or not.
And with the Clasico against Real Madrid just one hour away and the team sheets handed in, we had our answer to the question.
Suarez, a summer signing from Liverpool and a player who has courted plenty of controversy, makes his Barcelona debut at the Bernabeu.
He slips into a front three alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar.
Elsewhere in the Blaugrana side, Luis Enrique has chosen Xavi ahead of Ivan Rakitic, while Sergio Busquets returns to the team.
Across the back four, Jeremy Mathieu has been preferred to Jordi Alba at left-back and Javier Mascherano and Gerard Pique have been granted the two centre-back positions.
Real Madrid's side is as expected, with just two changes from the side that beat Liverpool.
Dani Carvajal replaces Alvaro Arbeloa and Sergio Ramos comes in for French international Raphael Varane - there was no "surprise", like Carlo Ancelotti had hinted at on Friday.
