He received a four-month ban after biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup.
Previously, the Dutch FA had handed him a seven-match ban during his time at Ajax for biting PSV’s Otman Bakkal in 2010 and he followed that up by biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic in 2013 while at Liverpool – leading to a ten-game suspension.
it was a hot-tempered affair in Santiago, with Middlesbrough’s Uruguayan Gaston Ramirez also on the receiving end of some very personal attention from Chilean Gonzalo Jara.
Jara, who last year stuck his finger up the backside of Suarez’s international team-mate Edinson Cavani during Copa America, repeated the trick last night on the Boro attacker.
The result leaves Chile in fourth spot in the qualification table, while Uruguay are second and three points ahead of their rivals, although they remain four behind leaders Brazil.
