FIFA bring forward Luis Suarez hearing

FIFA have brought forward their discipline action against Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

FIFA have fast-tracked their investigation into Suarez's apparent bite on Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini and set the Uruguay striker a deadline of 9pm to respond to the claims.

"The Disciplinary Committee understands the urgency of the matter," said FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer.

"It is working to get and assess all elements in order to make a decision as early as possible, particularly given the fact that Uruguay are still in the tournament."
