"Luis Suarez has been handed an additional three-game ban by Major League Soccer after he spat at a member of the Seattle Sounders security staff following the Leagues Cup final. The Inter Miami striker was handed a six-game ban for matches in the Leagues Cup following the incident that occurred after Javier Mascherano's men were beaten 3-0 at Lumen Field on August 31. And MLS has now announced Suarez will serve an additional three-game suspension, ruling him out of league matches against Charlotte, Seattle and DC United."
"It was a moment of much tension and frustration, where just after the game ended things happened that shouldn't have happened, but that doesn't justify my reaction. I made a mistake and sincerely apologise. It's not the image I want to give in front of my family, that suffers because of my mistakes, in front of my club, that also doesn't deserve seeing themselves affected by something like this."
Major League Soccer imposed an additional three-game suspension on Luis Suarez after he spat at a Seattle Sounders security staff member following the Leagues Cup final. The striker had already received a six-game ban for Leagues Cup matches after the incident on August 31 at Lumen Field. The additional suspension rules him out of league matches against Charlotte, Seattle and DC United. Suarez engaged in a post-game brawl, placed midfielder Obed Vargas in a headlock and then spat on Sounders director of security Gene Ramirez. Suarez apologised on Instagram, calling his actions a mistake and expressing regret for affecting his family and club. The striker's career includes past bans for racial abuse and multiple biting incidents, including an eight-match ban in 2011 and bite-related suspensions while at Ajax, Liverpool and Uruguay.
