Luis Suarez's debut for Barcelona is likely to come on Saturday October 25 against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

The striker - who switched to Camp Nou from Liverpool earlier in the summer - is the subject of a worldwide ban after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini while playing for Uruguay at the World Cup.

His four-month ban, which was served from June 25, expires on Friday October 24, but Primera Division officials have confirmed the schedule for matchday nine.

Within that, Barca's trip to the Spanish capital has been slated for the Saturday, with a 0900 PT kick-off time.
