Luis Suarez unveiled as Barcelona player


Luis Suarez has finally been officially unveiled as a Barcelona
player following the club's presentation on Monday.
The Uruguay international was introduced to some of the Nou
Camp faithful alongside fellow summer signings Ivan Rakitic,
Thomas Vermaelen, Jeremy Mathieu, Claudio Bravo and Marc-
Andre Ter Stegen.
Suarez's unveiling was only allowed on Thursday after the Court
of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) cleared the 27-year-old to train with
his new team-mates and play in friendlies.
Luis Suarez unveiled in front of Barcelona fans... finally
The £75million signing from Liverpool is currently serving a four-
month ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during their
World Cup Group D encounter.
He had initially been forced to train away from his new team-
mates but since the softening of his suspension sanctions he is
now expected to feature in the Catalan club's pre-season friendly
on Monday night.
Luis Enrique's side face Mexican outfit Leon in the Gamper Cup at
the Nou Camp, with the Spaniard confirming his new striker will
play a part in the match.
'The impression is that he is a player of a very high standard,' the
Barca coach was quoted as saying at a press conference on
Sunday.
'I know how we play and he fits how we play. I would like to give
him some minutes (on Monday). He did a great job when he
trained alone.'
