Luis Suarez might have moved from Liverpool to Barcelona but he cannot follow in the footsteps of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Neymar and co and be presented at the Nou Camp because of the FIFA ban that extends to a stadium unveiling.

Suarez's 75 million pounds move from Liverpool to Barca has been confirmed and the striker's presentation is due to take place in front of the media next week.

The Uruguayan has been banned for four months from all football-related activity for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini and his suspension includes access to stadia, meaning that the striker cannot be presented in front of the Barca faithful at Nou Camp as many of the club's heroes before him, Metro.co.uk reported.

Instead, Suarez would have to make do with a toned-down press conference, the report added.
