Big Butch: Suarez ban should NOT involve Liverpool

England legend Terry Butcher wants the book thrown at Liverpool striker Luis Suarez over his latest biting incident. Suarez appeared to bite Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's World Cup win yesterday.

Butcher told Sky Sports: "I think it should just be an international ban. It was on the international scene, he was playing for his country, it's nothing to do with Liverpool, or whatever club he does go to, if that is the case. But I think it should be an international ban.

"They could punish him for 24 games, I think that's the maximum they could issue that ban, so it'll be very interesting to see what they do.

"Domestically, he had the ban before with Liverpool (for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic) but he could still play internationally as well so I think if it's in that arena it should stay in that arena."
