?La Liga President Javier Tebas has hinted that Barcelona striker Luis Suarez could be handed an extended ban by the Spanish football authorities, following his apparent attempts to get himself a yellow card in ?Saturday’s 6-1 thrashing of Girona.
Had Suarez – who had already netted a hat-trick in the match – gone into the book in the closing moments of the rout, it would have been his fifth yellow of the season, meaning the Uruguayan would have been suspended for Thursday’s match with Las Palmas; before being available again for when league leaders Barcelona host second placed Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp on Sunday.
Weighing in on the issue, La Liga president Javier Tebas has now suggested that Suarez, who was not actually booked against Girona, could be set for a longer suspension, with ?Football Espana reporting that Tebas has told Spanish press:
“Had he received his fifth yellow he would then be cleared to play in a crucial game, but that is not something we want in this league.”
