Barcelona vice-president Manel Arroyo insists Luis Suarez has been treated with "normality" since his arrival at the Nou Camp and "what happened is in the past".
Suarez is currently serving a four-month ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup in June.
The Uruguay striker, who played and scored twice for Barcelona B this week, is available to make his debut against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on October 25.
Arroyo, speaking at the Nolan Partners Sport Industry Breakfast Club, is keen to put the latest of Suarez's disciplinary issues in the rear view mirror.
"The player knows perfectly well what happened and the way to act," Arroyo said.
"What we need to do is comfort him as a huge player and that's all. Normality is the way we deal with these situations.
"We are just concentrating on the future. What happened in the past, happened, and the results we have now.
"We are working with him and we are just hopeful he can make his debut against Real Madrid.
"The image today of Suarez is of a huge player, there is not a huge debate about that. He received a penalty for what he did."
