The outcome of Uruguay forward Luis Suarez’s appeal against his ban for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini will be announced on Thursday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Wednesday.
Suarez was suspended for nine competitive internationals and from all football-related activity for four months after sinking his teeth into Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 win on June 24. After losing an appeal with FIFA, the Barcelona forward took his case to CAS, which conducted a hearing on the matter last Friday.
“The Court of Arbitration for Sport will announce its decision in the matter Luis Suarez, FC Barcelona and the Uruguayan FA on Thursday August 14, 2014, at around 3pm (6.30 pm IST),” a CAS statement said.
