Luis Suarez returns to international training with Uruguay after serving his nine-match suspension for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup.

Luis Suarez has returned to training with Uruguay and is available for selection after serving his ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup.

The Barcelona frontman, who was on Liverpool's books at the time, was given a nine-match international suspension for the incident which occurred during a group-stage match in Brazil.

Suarez also received a four-match ban from all football activity, which delayed his Barca debut after he swapped Anfield for Camp Nou later that summer.

The 29-year-old's international ban has now been served and he has joined his teammates in Montevideo as La Celeste prepare for World Cup qualifying matches against Brazil and Peru.

Uruguay have won three and lost one of their four CONMEBOL qualifiers to sit three points behind group leaders Ecuador.
