Fifa is investigating the incident which has become a worldwide talking point, and Suarez, twice previously banned for biting, looks likely to be hit with another lengthy suspension despite escaping punishment during the match. Suarez and Chiellini clashed in the Italian penalty area 10 minutes from the end of the match which sealed Uruguay's progression and Italy's elimination from the tournament. Fifa charged Suarez for biting Italy defender Chiellini and said early on Wednesday that its disciplinary committee had opened proceedings against the forward. If the panel finds Suarez guilty of assaulting an opponent, Fifa rules call for a ban of at least two matches, up to a maximum of 24 months. Liverpool's Suarez was banned for 10 games last year after biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in a Premier League match and in 2010 he was suspended for seven games for biting PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal while playing for Ajax Amsterdam.
