The English Football Association have banned Liverpool's Striker Luis Suarez for 10 matches following his outrageous bite on Chelsea defender and Serbia International Branislav Ivanovic. The incident which occurred when the two sides met in the premier league went unnoticed by the officials of the game. The Controversial Uruguay International has issued out an apology to Ivanovic after the game and he has also been fined by Liverpool.
An FA statement read: "A three-person Independent Regulatory Commission today upheld The FA's claim that a suspension of three matches was clearly insufficient and the player will serve a further seven first-team matches in addition to the standard three. The suspension begins with immediate effect.
"The Liverpool forward had accepted a charge of violent conduct but had denied The FA's claim that the standard three-match sanction was insufficient for the offence.
"The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed.
"Suarez has until midday on Friday, 26 April to appeal the additional suspension, above the standard three matches."
The ban covers their final four games of this season, and the first six games of 2013-14.
