Suarez to play against Saudi Arabia
Luis Suarez arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday (October 7), ahead of a
likely first appearance for Uruguay since biting Italian defender
Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
Uruguay coach Oscar Tabarez announced the squad on Thursday (October 2)
for friendly internationals in Saudi Arabia on October the 10th and
Oman, three days later.
The most notable name among the 22 - Luis Suarez.
Although allowed to play the friendlies, Suarez remains banned from Uruguay's next eight competitive matches.
This means he will miss next year's Copa America along with a number of World Cup qualifiers.
The ban also covers competitive matches until later this month for Barcelona.
Suarez has played in a youth game and a friendly for Barcelona this season. He will not return to the full side until later this month - possibly for the 'el Clasico' clash with Real Madrid.
