Liverpool striker Luis Suarez shrugged off his latest biting episode after Uruguay's World Cup win over Italy. Suarez risks a lengthy ban, reportedly as much as six months at international and club level, after he was caught biting Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini's shoulder.
"These things happen in the box," Suarez was quoted as telling Uruguayan media.
"We were in contact, chest against shoulder, and I got a knock to the eye."
