It is a fact that Luis Suárez is banned from playing official matches until the end of October, but he's now allowed to train with Barcelona. He can also play friendlies. There's one in the schedule, now.

Barça coach Luis Enrique scheduled a practice match against Barça B on Wednesday afternoon to give Suárez a taste of competition, instead of just training until he's able to play an official match. All first team players who didn't travel with their national teams will play, except for Lionel Messi, Andrés Iniesta and Thomas Vermaelen, still nursing injuries.

Along with Suárez, goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen could get a few minutes, now that he's been given the green light by team doctors to resume full activity with the squad.

Enrique plans to schedule other friendlies in the future to give Suárez more playing time. Luisito is expected to make his official Barcelona debut in El Clásico against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu, on October 26. Until then, his coach wants to make sure that the Biting Machine is as ready as possible.
