Luis Suarez takes part in first training session with Barcelona

Barcelona star Luis Suarez has taken part in his first training session since joining the Catalan giants from Liverpool in July.

The Uruguayan international was banned from all football-related activity for four months after he bit the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in Brazil back in June.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the lengthy ban after the prolific striker launched an appeal with the hope of halving the suspension.

Suarez will not be allowed to feature in any competitive matches until the end of October, but is permitted to train and play in friendlies.

Barca tweeted pictures this morning of the 27-year-old training with his new teammates for the first time.
