Suarez begins training with Barca

Luis Suarez has trained with his new
Barcelona team-mates for the first
time after the Court of Arbitration for
Sport (CAS) gave him the green light
on Thursday.
The Uruguyan is currently serving a
four-month suspension from football
for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during the two sides' World
Cup clash.
Fifa had initially ruled that he would be banned from all footballing
activities, including training, but upon appeal, the CAS ruled that he
could participate in friendlies and train normally.
Barelona announced soon after that the former Liverpool man, who
completed his move to Camp Nou after the tournament's conclusion,
would start training on Friday with a view to making his first
appearance in the Gamper Trophy game against Leon on Monday.

Barca had been hopeful that the CAS would reduce his ban from
playing all together, however it ruled that the length of his
suspension was appropriate.
Suarez could make his competitive debut against Real Madrid in the
season's first Clasico, which is due to take place on either October 25
or October 26.
