Suarez, in the midst of a four-month suspension for his infamous bite on Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini at this summer's World Cup, is not eligible to return to official action with Barcelona until Oct. 25, when, coincidentally, the club plays bitter rival Real Madrid in the season's first Clasico.
While the Uruguayan will be continuing his search for full fitness in the friendly contest, his teammates will be taking on Malaga in league action.
The club will be looking for its fifth consecutive win to begin the season, having scored 11 goals - and more importantly conceded none - in the opening four matches.
Maybe they don't even need Suarez.
