Barcelona say that striker Luis Suarez will be able to play in the league match at Real Madrid on 25 October.
The game takes place a day after the Uruguay international’s four-month ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup comes to an end. Spain’s professional league (LFP) confirmed the date of El Clasico on Wednesday.
The Court of Arbitration in Sport (Cas) also told Barcelona that summer signing Suarez, 27, is free to play.
“Cas confirmed to FC Barcelona that the Uruguayan forward’s sanction expires the day before,” read a statement on the Catalan club’s website.
“Therefore, Suarez will be able to make his official debut in the match against Real Madrid if that is what (coach) Luis Enrique decides.” — BBC.
