Luis Suarez set for Clasico debut as FIFA confirm end of his ban
FIFA confirmed on Thursday that Luis Suarez will be able to play against Real Madrid, having served his punishment of a four month ban.
"He is able to play in official matches with Barcelona from October 25," a spokesman told DPA.
FIFA recognises the Court of Arbitration for Sport's ruling that the sanction began to run from June 25.
"Regardless of the nine-game suspension in official matches for his country, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has confirmed that the four-month suspension of Luis Suarez should end on October 24 at midnight (CET)," said FIFA.
Suarez had bitten Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup, his third such offence. Now he is preparing to make his debut in El Clasico on Saturday.
