(ATR) Luis Suarez hopes to take a bite out of his football suspension.
On Friday, the Uruguayan striker completed his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport regarding his four-month suspension on all football-related activities handed down by FIFA. His legal team hopes for just a two-month suspension.
In a statement released following the trial, CAS said the panel hearing the case "will issue its decision as soon as possible, probably before the end of next week."
Thefull award will be published at a later date.
If his appeal is successful, he would be eligible to play starting Aug. 25.
Suarez grew infamous during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil when he bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini. Uruguay went on to win the match, 1-0.
Match officials did not notice the incident and Suarez received no in-game punishment.
