LUIS SUAREZ TRAINS WITH HIS BARCELONA TEAM-MATES FOR THE FIRST TIME

At last Luis Suárez trained with Barcelona for the first time on friday after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) amended his four-month ban.

The Uruguayan was banned from all football-related activity after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup but can train and play friendlies.

The forward presented himself for training under Luis Enrique's orders for the first time this morning at 9:30, after the CAS's resolution to allow him to train with his team.

The Uruguayan joined his teammates for regular training and will do so again this afternoon. Nearly all the press cameras were focused on him during their fifteen minutes of time allowed by the new manager. Before today, Suárez had been forced to train alone with a personal trainer, as he was banned from setting foot in any of the club's sports facilities.

The player trained in a nearby hotel to stay in form, ready for the day he could show Luis Enrique what he was made of. Today, that day has come.
The 27-year-old joined his new team-mates for the first time since his £75m move from Liverpool last month.

Suarez could also play against Leon FC in the Joan Gampher trophy on Monday.
The former Ajax captain will still miss the first 11 matches of the season for Barcelona, but could return to play against Real Madrid in El Clasico at the end of October.
