Luis Suarez: Fate that Barcelona debut will happen against Real Madrid

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez feels it's fate that he will make his debut in the El Clasico against Real Madrid. FIFA banned Suarez for four months and barred him from nine competitive internationals after he bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini whilst playing for Uruguay in a World Cup fixture in Brazil.

The ban ends on October 24, meaning Suarez could play at the Bernabeu the following day if he is selected by Luis Enrique.

"I'm the kind of person who believes that things happen for a reason, and out of all 19 team in the League, it's precisely against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu that I'll make my comeback. There must be a reason," Suarez told Barcelona magazine.
