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 the Nou Camp from Liverpool earlier in the summer - is currently the subject of a worldwide ban after biting Italy's 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 and on Wednesday, the Primera Division officials confirmed the schedule for matchday nine.

Within that, Barca's trip to the Spanish capital has been slated for the Saturday, with a 1700 kick-off time (British time).
