Luis Suarez has been banned for 10 matches for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, the English Football Association has announced.
The sanction was imposed today by an independent regulatory commission on a charge of violent conduct against the Liverpool striker.
An FA statement said: "A three-person independent regulatory commission today upheld the FA's claim that a suspension of three matches was clearly insufficient and the player will serve a further seven first-team matches in addition to the standard three. The suspension begins with immediate effect."
Suarez has until midday on Friday to appeal the additional suspension.
