BARCELONA SIGNING SUAREZ TO LEARN TODAY IF BAN APPEAL SUCCESSFUL,

Barcelona signing Luis Suarez will
learn today if his four-month biting
ban will be reduced. Suarez has taken his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which has announced it will deliver its verdict at 3pm local time (2pm BST) on Thursday, having heard the case
last week.
"The Court of Arbitration for Sport
(CAS) will announce its decision in the matter Luis Suarez, FC Barcelona & the Uruguayan FA on Thursday 14 August 2014 at around 3pm. This case was heard on 8 August 2014 at the CAS offices in Lausanne," a statement said.
"At the request of the Appellants and
with the agreement of FIFA, the CAS
has conducted an expedited
arbitration procedure. As a consequence, the CAS Panel has
accepted to render its decision within a short period of time but with
grounds to follow later."
