Barcelona forward Luis Suarez was included in the starting lineup for Saturday's La Liga 'Clasico' against Real Madrid, a day after his four-month ban for biting an opponent expired.

Uruguay international Suarez, who joined Barca from Liverpool in the close season, will play in a three-pronged attack with Argentina's Lionel Messi and Neymar of Brazil.

FIFA sanctioned Suarez after he sunk his teeth into the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
