"These are exceptional circumstances, it is the third time he has bitten someone. It is ridiculous.

"I think Liverpool will be panicking, they have a player worth maybe £60m and could be banned for the whole season.

"Three strikes you have to be out. Biting someone at a tournament of this prestige, they have to throw the book at him and lock him up forever."

FIFA can sanction players for biting with bans of up to two years.
