Liverpool seek FIFA leniency to allow Suarez to train

Liverpool will appeal to FIFA to allow Luis Suarez to continue to train with them during his four month ban.

The Sunday Express says the Reds are launching a plea to FIFA to adjust their punishment.

Suarez has been suspended for four months from all football related activities in addition to a nine match ban involving Uruguay internationals in the aftermath of his bite on Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini.

If that is upheld - with the Uruguayan FA and Liverpool planning appeals - then it means the 27-year-old striker wouldn't be allowed to enter Melwood, Liverpool's training ground, until the end of October, missing at least 13 games.
