Fifa chief Jerome Valcke has claimed Liverpool are not being punished by the four-month worldwide ban imposed on Luis Suarez for biting and told the striker to seek treatment for his behaviour.

Liverpool are taking legal advice after facing up to another nightmare scenario with Luis Suarez after their star striker departed the World Cup in disgrace with a four-month ban from all football imposed for biting an opponent.

It’s a hard act to follow in terms of utter vulgarity, but, yet again, Luis Suarez gave it a go. As horrific as his bite on Giorgio Chiellini was, the aftermath only reinforced the act as those around him have been throwing themselves in front of the hail of bullets, looking to condone and defend what amounts to animalistic savagery.

FIFA’s disciplinary hearing into Luis Suarez for biting will continue on Thursday morning, according to the head of the Uruguay Football Association.

Luis Suarez’s previous record for biting may be used in evidence when disciplinary chiefs consider the case against him for biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini, Fifa has confirmed.

LIVERPOOL striker Luis Suarez will appeal his eight-game ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra, according to his lawyer.
