Can he not even go training?
He cannot go anywhere near football for 4 months. Well he will probably be allowed to watch MOTD, but thats about it.
Can he not even go training?
He cant even go the training ground.

For those saying it's lenient.. it really isn't. Yes it's his third offence when he is caught biting someone on the pitch, so a more powerful ban than the previous one was to be expected. When I first Heard the 4 month ban, I also thought it was a bit short but then I did the calculation and what's really incorporated in the sentence.
9 international matches (not friendlies) would mean the rest of this Championship and Copa America qualificationmatches. Imagine Portugal without Ronaldo or Sweden without Zlatan in a whole qualificationround...
4 months banned from football... that's the whole preseason thrown out the window. The first 9-10 League games, 3 of those against teams predicted to fight for the European slots in the League. Half the groupstage in the Champions League and the first League Cup game.
If I understand the ban correctly he is also banned from training with the team, which would make him train alone. It would perhaps make him in perfect condition when he returns, but he won't be in synchronisation with the rest of the team when he returns. Any new strategies, variations on freekicks and corners, bonding with new teammates and just practising football with his collegues is gone. He will also severly lack matchfitness when he returns. No matter how much you practise on your own, you need matches to reach that top level of your game.
All in all, I Think FIFA actually gave him a very strong punishment. Good for them to finally stand firm, but now they have set a high standard for themselves. What will happen if someone else in an international game spit on someone, hit someone on purpose when the ball is somewhere else.... Uruguay and Suarez can be on them and demand that FIFA ban others for doing things that doesn't belong in a football match. And FIFA might be forced to ban others so it won't look like they had a grudge against Suarez.
Who would buy him when he can't go near the new club for 4 months?Excellent stuff! Haha....
He'll be sold in the summer anyway, wanted away and will be a good get out clause for Liverpool to not look like a selling club.
Probably cost them 10M in the fee they will get now compared to before.
