CL games are a BIG miss; he'll miss playing every team in our (most likely very difficult) group for the first matches.
PL might not be too bad. the only "big" games he misses there is city and spurs, maybe everton too. however my big concern is that he's a very good flat track bully. we may end up dropping stupid points against smaller teams with him not there.
To give some context as to the extent of 'all football-related activity' - this was almost construed as including transfers.
Looks like the language is wide enough to cover ANY kind of football related activity.
I.e. football training. Football events. Football interviews (maybe?) - probably argue against that tho.
He cannot do any activity football related so his sponsors will drop him. he cannot attend Any training or enter Anfield or any other ground. He can be transferred. FIFA clarified it
the sad thing is that he is banned for us more than he is injured.
he is world class, but no player is above this kind of thing. he got us CL last season with a season of hard work, but he may just have lost us a place next season with a moment of stupidity.
I'd still keep him. As long as Sturridge, Sterling and any big name attackers brought in stay fit then were fine.
Suarez will be fit enough to play as soon as his ban is up tbh. He'll be training at home/in Uruguay/wherever. No matter what FIFA do they can't stop someone kicking a ball and running around at their own home.
