Suarez was banned from "all football activity" for biting Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's World Cup match against Italy, and this was assumed to include training.

However Claudio Sulser, the head of FIFA's disciplinary committee, said in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday, when asked if Suarez would be banned from training:

"No you can't limit those rights to the player, because it would be disproportionate."
Sulser went on to confirm that Uruguay have launched an appeal against the ban, which also rules Suarez out of their next eight international games, as they promised they would.
"This is still an ongoing case and an appeal has been filed, so I prefer not to give my opinion,” he added.
"When the committee was analysing this case, one thing I mentioned in my capacity as the chairman is we don't need to impose an exemplary sanction, we need to have justice and reached the sanction in a very severe case."
