FIFA announce investigation into new Luis Suarez biting incident

FIFA have announced they will investigate the latest biting incident involving Uruguay striker Luis Suarez.

Suarez appeared to have bitten Italy's Giorgio Chiellini towards the end of Uruguay's victory yesterday.

A FIFA spokesperson told PA Sport: "We are awaiting the official match reports and will gather all the necessary elements in order to evaluate the matter."

FIFA's disciplinary code sets a maximum ban of 24 matches or two years, but the longest ban in World Cup history was eight games for Italy's Mauro Tassotti for breaking Spain's Luis Enrique's nose in 1994 with an elbow.
