Luis Suarez created huge World Cup controversy after he seemed to bite an opponent for the third time in his career, as Diego Godin’s dramatic winner sent Uruguay through to the knockout stages with a 1-0 win over Italy.
Replays showed Suarez appearing to sink his teeth into the shoulder of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini - the striker avoided immediate punishment for the offence despite Chiellini showing the referee tooth marks, but a hefty retrospective punishment seems certain.
Suarez has previously served bans for biting PSV's Otman Bakkal when playing for Ajax in 2010, and Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic while representing Liverpool in 2013.
He achieved notoriety at the 2010 World Cup when his deliberate handball on the line allowed Uruguay to beat Ghana on penalties.
