Inter Miami-star Luis Suarez has received a suspension of six games for his actions after the Stormy Leagues Cup defeat last weekend for the Seattle Sounders, said the disciplinary leaders of the tournament on Friday.
The 38-year-old former Uruguay, Liverpool and Barcelona star was punished for spitting on a Sounders officer after he got involved in a melee after the 0-3 loss of Miami.
A statement from the disciplinary committee of the Leagues Cup said that the suspension of Suarez would only apply to the edition of next year’s tournament, although Major League Soccer (MLS) «holds the right» to impose extra punishment.
