Uruguay’s Luis Suarez has been accused of biting a player for the third time after an incident with Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool striker, 27, lunged at Chiellini in the penalty area just before Diego Godin’s Uruguay winner. \nChiellini pulled his shirt down to show the referee a mark on his shoulder but no action was taken by the official.<\/p>\n
The maximum ban Suarez could face if governing body Fifa takes retrospective action is 24 matches or two years.<\/p>\n
Within minutes of the incident, Diego Godin scored Uruguay’s winner to knock Group D rivals Italy out of the 2014 Fifa World Cup.<\/p>\n
“Suarez is a sneak,” said Chiellini.<\/p>\n
“I’d love to see if Fifa has the courage to use video evidence against him. The referee saw the bite mark too, but he did nothing about it.”<\/p>\n
