Luis Suarez to Make Uruguay Return vs. Brazil After Giorgio Chiellini Bite Ban

Luis Suarez is expected to make his return to international duty against Brazil on Friday, March 25, after serving a nine-match ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup (h/t Goal).

The date of the 2018 World Cup qualifier between Uruguay and Brazil was moved from March 24 to March 25, with Suarez hoping to make a timely comeback and aid his country's campaign hopes.

Luis Suarez won a European and domestic treble in his first season at Barca.

It's been more than 18 months since Suarez was handed a nine-match ban as well as a four-month suspension from all football activity in relation to what was the third biting incident of his career.
