He has also been banned from being in any stadium during that time and has been fined 100,000 Swiss francs. However, Suarez can appeal from the ban. The talented striker, who had an exceptional season with Liverpool, reacted badly to some jostling in the penalty area, seemingly turning his head towards Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini before attempting to bite him on the shoulder.
If the ban does extend to 25 October, Suarez will miss the first three UEFA Champions League group games for #lfc.

Chiellini reacted immediately, attempting to show alleged bite marks on his shoulder to the referee. Suarez has maintained his innocence, but a third incident of this sort in his career suggests that the situation is probably as seen.

Suarez has previously been banned for biting a player in the Eredivisie during his time at Ajax, and infamously did the same to Branislav Ivanovic in a clash between Chelsea and Liverpool in the 2012/13 season.-SQUAKWA
