Suarez in line for Barca bow in Leon friendly

Uruguay international Suarez, who joined Barca in a reported €94 million (£75m) move from Liverpool last month, was cleared to train and play in non-competitive matches by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Thursday, although his four-month ban from official matches for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup remains in effect.
