Uruguay euphoria for Luis Suarez

Posted Friday, October 10, 2014 by Marca.com

Luis Suarez is delighted to be back in the Uruguay picture for the matches against Saudi Arabia and Oman and made his feelings known on social media.

Though the striker remains suspended from competitive fixtures following his bite on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup, FIFA have cleared him to play in friendlies. As a result, the former Ajax and Liverpool man will have the chance to make his comeback for Óscar Tabarez's side during their mini-tour of Asia.

"It's amazing to be back here with everyone! Here's a photo with Stuani, Martín Silva and Godin", a clearly elated Suarez posted on social media together with the snapshot in question.

Suarez's ban means that he won't be eligible to make his competitive debut for Barcelona until 25th October, when his new club faces Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

It remains to be seen whether Barça coach Luis Enrique will throw the marksman in at the deep end in such a high-stakes game, although the rest of the 'Azulgranas' squad have been at pains to highlight Suarez's ability, work ethic in training and eagerness to return to action at every opportunity.
