Will Suarez be penalised?

The incident could lead to serious disciplinary action for Suarez. Neither Inter Miami nor MLS officials have released an official statement yet, but the league is expected to review the footage and respond swiftly. If confirmed, the spitting and violent conduct could result in a multi-game suspension or even a fine.

The former Liverpool and Barcelona striker in the past has flirted with controversy on the pitch. He was banned for eight matches and fined by the English FA in 2011 for making racist remarks toward Manchester United’s Patrice Evra. Suarez later refused to shake Evra’s hand in a highly charged Premier League meeting.

During the 2014 World Cup, he was suspended for four months after biting Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini - the third biting incident of his career. He had also previously bitten Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic while playing for Liverpool
