Luis Suarez’s countdown to the Clasico continues and all indications are that despite playing just four friendlies in four months he will be ready to start against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Since the Spanish league computer decreed that Suarez’s ban for a bite on Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup would end the same day as football’s most expensive fixture between two of its bitterest rivals, Suarez’s focus has been on winning the race to be fit to start the match. At first he was hampered by the demands of moving his family from Liverpool to Barcelona and by FIFA’s ban on him training with team-mates or even setting foot inside the club’s Joan Gamper headquarters.
