Busquets is fit and Suarez will ‘surely’ play, Enrique confirms

Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique says striker Luis Suarez will make his debut for the club against arch rivals Real Madrid on Saturday.
The Uruguayan has been unable to play so far this season having been banned for 4 months over the summer for biting Italian international Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
However, he has served his ban now and is in line to make his debut just in time to take on the club’s arch rivals, though as yet it remains unclear as to whether he will start or come on from the bench.
“Today I cannot play this game. But he will have some minutes for sure, how many I cannot say,” Enrique admitted.
“It is a big thing for him, to join up finally with the team, and get some minutes.”
Barcelona have yet to concede a goal this term, though they will be coming up against a very in-form Cristiano Ronaldo, who already has over 20 to his name for the season.
Enrique also enthused that Midfielder Sergio Busquets is fit and is available for the game.
“Sergio is looking very good. He trained with everyone and he should be available without any problems,” he said.
