Suarez Charged With Bite By FA

By Arun Nair – (@Nair_39)

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association following the Uruguayan’s bite on Branislav Ivanovic during yesterday’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea at Anfield.

The FA said the match officials had not seen the incident and it had been “retrospectively reviewed”.

It added that, while the standard punishment for violent conduct was a three-match ban, such punishment was “clearly insufficient in these circumstances”.

Suarez has until 18:00 BST on Tuesday, 23 April to respond to the charge before an independent regulatory commission will be convened on the following day.
