FIFA may extend Suarez ban
Posted Saturday, July 03, 2010 by PA
FIFA have confirmed that Uruguay striker Luis Suarez could miss the rest of the World Cup following his hand-ball against Ghana
The Ajax striker was given a straight red card for saving Dominic Adiyiah's goalbound-header on the line in extra-time. Asamoah Gyan missed the resultant spot kick and the African nation lost a penalty shoot-out, after which Suarez celebrated with his team-mates on the pitch.
FIFA spokesman Pekka Odriozola told a media briefing: "For automatic red cards there is an automatic one-match suspension. The disciplinary committee also opens a case and they will be looking at that incident and taking a decision."
