Uruguayan national team and Barcelona player Luis Suarez arrived at the highest sports arbitration court (CAS) in Switzerland. In the city of Lausanne, he seeks to appeal the disqualification imposed on him for biting an opponent during the World Cup in Brazil. On Friday, the Uruguayan arrived at the court with his lawyers and did not speak to reporters. FIFA officials also refrained from commenting on the case, which could last about four hours. L. Suarez seeks to shorten his punishment - a four-month ban from all football competitions and training, as well as missing nine matches for the Uruguayan national team. Barcelona will start the Spanish league in two weeks. FIFA sanctions prohibit L. Suarez from training with his new teammates until October 25. The Uruguayan footballer is accused of biting Italian national team defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder during the World Cup match in which Uruguay defeated Italy 1-0.
