Barcelona take on Malaga on Wednesday night at La Rosaleda, but before that, Blaugrana fans will turn their attention to Barca B to catch a rare glimpse of Luis Suarez in action.

Luis Enrique confirmed at his press conference on Tuesday afternoon that the Uruguayan would feature in the game as he looks to get up to speed.

According to SPORT, he said: "Suarez will play in the B team friendly. There are many nuances, but we have talked and he wants to play, even though it is for another team. He will play the minutes that [Barca B boss] Eusebio decides."

Suarez is currently suspended until October 25, for biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.

The striker featured in a behind closed-doors friendly for Barcelona against the B team at the Ciutat Esportiva training complex, as well as making a cameo in the Joan Gamper friendly.

Per the Daily Mail, Suarez notched twice as the first team overcame the reserves 5-1.

This will be his first start in a match against outside opposition, with Barcelona B playing Indonesia U19s in a friendly at 3 p.m. BST.

Suarez will be hoping to fill his boots against Barca B's feeble opposition.

Meanwhile, Barcelona continue trying to win without their absent star summer signing.

The club can hardly claim to have missed him, scoring 12 goals in their first five games of the season, while conceding zero.

Neymar has notched three, with Messi adding three of his own.

Suarez will be the final component in that forward line, with Munir, Sandro and Pedro sharing his spot for the time being.

Messi has been in spectacular form, creating plenty of assists for Neymar and Co. When Suarez returns you can expect that to continue, with the Argentine likely to drop even deeper than he already has been doing.

Fabio Capello thinks Barcelona will benefit from Suarez's defensive work ethic when the striker returns, too. Per SPORT he said:

Barca have reinforced very well. A player like Luis Suarez can make a large difference in attack and is a permanent danger. With Messi and Neymar he'll form a great trident. It would be perfect if the other players were more involved in defensive duties. Suarez does it, the other two a little less. Messi did at first and in recent times not so much, although he is always a major concern for his opponents.

Suarez is set to return against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and depending on how he looks in games like Wednesday's against Indonesia, Enrique may choose to start him from the off.

It would be a bold decision, but Barcelona now have a coach who is not afraid of making them, as exemplified by his substitution of Neymar against Levante, even though the Brazilian wanted to continue.

If Lucho can harness Suarez's powers and use his instinctive aggression for Barca's good, while stopping it manifesting itself in the player's dark side, then Barcelona will be a side that nobody in Europe will relish facing—something that couldn't be said for last year's team.
