Suarez jets home to Uruguay after FIFA ban striker from ALL football for four months - plus NINE international matches - for World Cup bite (he can't play for Liverpool until NOVEMBER!)

SuarezThe Uruguayan FA have confirmed that they will lodge an immediate appeal after Luis Suarez was hit with a four month ban from all football for biting Giorgio Chiellini. Suarez - pictured left today before his banned was announced - will not play for Liverpool until the end of October and is banned for nine Uruguay matches. The news was even delivered on the London Underground (right) as American fans in Recife (inset) found a poster to mock the incident. 

Uruguay bad boy Luis Suarez was ruled out of the World Cup and the Premier League until the end of October in a mammoth FIFA ban.
The FIFA disciplinary committee, after more than 10 hours of talks over Wednesday night and Thursday morning, banned him from nine competitive  Uruguay games and four months of all football activity.
This follows him biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder during Uruguay's victory over Liverpool, the third time he has done such an abhorrent act on the football field, which was taken into account by the committee.
Suarez will miss 13 Liverpool games and any transfer negotiations will not be affected by the ban but would obviously complicate matters, and has been fined £65,000.

Uruguay Football Association president Wilmar Valdez has confirmed the association will lodge an appeal against Luis Suarez's FIFA ban.
'We are preparing our appeal now, we have three days to do it.
'It is an excessive decision and there was not enough evidence and I have seen more aggressive incidents recently.
'It is a severe punishment. I don't know exactly which arguments they used but it is a tough punishment for Suarez.
'It's feels like Uruguay has been thrown out of the World Cup. We all know what Suarez means to Uruguay and to football around the world - not having Suarez would be a loss to any team.'
Asked if there was any possibility of Uruguay boycotting their last 16 match against Colombia on Saturday, Valdez added:'No, that is not a possibility. Uruguay continues playing at this World Cup. We have good players who can come in.'
He added that Suarez will return to Uruguay, saying: 'Luis in the next few hours will travel to Montevideo to be with the rest of his family to recover.'

  1. Suarez has banned for 4-month is not new news for the soccer fans. But, the latest news is Suarez Bite on Fifa 2015 Game that seems very interesting. However, FIFA 2015 game developers have not officially announced it yet.
