At the World Cup, Luis Suarez, who made an impression with a bite on an opponent, may start playing in the Spanish championship from the first matches. FIFA has imposed a nine-month ban on international matches and a four-month ban on football-related activities for the player for biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.
However, a representative of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) told the football portal goal.com that Barcelona forward's suspension could be lifted.
It would be a partial lifting - the player could immediately play for the new club, but the disqualification would still apply to national team matches.
Suarez has appealed, but FIFA rejected it. The Barcelona club was particularly unhappy about this, as they wanted to present the new player as soon as possible.
"Most likely, the ban will be lifted. The disqualification will only apply to the Uruguayan national team, not the club," said a goal.com source.
