FIFA uphold Suarez ban

FIFA have upheld Luis Suarez’s ban from ‘all football related activity’ after his bite on Giorgio Chiellini.

The Barcelona striker was handed a nine-game international ban, and a four-month suspension from the game as a whole after he was seen chomping down on the Italy defender at the World Cup.

And despite an appeal from the forward, the governing body has decided to retain the ban.

It means that Suarez won’t be able to play for his new club until at least the end of October, with his first eligible match being the opening Clasico of the campaign.
