9 - Luis Suárez - v1

It has to be at 0h, unless stated especifically. It started June 25th 0h, ends Oct 25th 0h.

Well I hope you are right.

Pretty fair decision it has to be said.

True, in the beginning it was reported that TAS would take this decision (because training is a human right). It's only some weeks ago when some journalists reported that the ban could be reduced to 2 months (based on which grounds), that everyone started to believe that rumour.

Can he at least play on monday against leon?

Can he at least play on monday against leon?

yes

 

[Luftstalag14]

yes

IF he is back from Uruguay before Monday and manages to get trained to reach some level of match fitness, I'd say.

Acc. to the official site, he will join training tom morning, and be presented at the gamper on monday.

That might have been published before they learned the news of his grandfather passing away.

So in the end, they didn't reduce his 4 months ban despite strong rumors implying otherwise?

Now I'm not sure if i should trust in DonaK and his statement that Barcelona will not suffer from transfer ban next summer <.<

I was hoping it'd be shortened, but the training thing being dropped is great. The ban will be humbling for him (though very frustrating) and it could really go the distance in making him more disciplined. I just really hope he's ready to kill it by the time of the Clasico.

It is confusing but the way I interpret it is that it would be inclusive of the 25th.

That sounds odd to me, 25 is the date the ban expires. If the ban starts on 25th of june it should be over on october 25th of at precisely 00:00:01, 1 second after midnight.

And making him hungrier too.

Life is the mother of all bitches. Get used to it

 

[Tomchin]

Official press-conference and photo-session Tuesday noon (but he'll already be presented to the Camp Nou crowd during the Gamper 1 day before)

 

[Ritchie]

Does this mean he definitely misses Copa America? When can he play for Uruguay again?
