Aspas: Suarez treated like a murderer

Iago Aspas has said his former Liverpool teammate Luis Suarez has been ‘treated like a murderer’ in the biting furore.

Suarez is banned from all football for four months for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, a ban that extends to the Uruguayan being barred from training but was no barrier to completing a move from Anfield to Barcelona, although the Catalans aren’t allowed to hold a Press conference to unveil their new forward.

Aspas meanwhile has also left Merseyside, signing a season-long loan deal with Sevilla, and the Guardian reports the forward as telling Spanish radio that Suarez’s punishment is far too harsh.

“They are treating Luis like a murderer and not like a footballer,” Aspas is quoted as saying.

“There are murderers who pay less. Not to let him be presented, to train or to enter the stadium is too much.”
