Luis Suarez has apologised to Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic for biting him, as Liverpool sought to limit damage to their image after the latest controversy surrounding the Uruguayan.
The forward sunk his teeth into the biceps of the Serbian defender during Liverpool’s 2-2 Premier League draw with Chelsea yesterday, prompting the club’s managing director, Ian Ayre to cancel a four-day trip to the Far East and Australia where he was supposed to be promoting Liverpool’s summer tour.
“I am deeply sorry for my inexcusable behaviour earlier today during our match against Chelsea,” Suarez said in a statement.
“I have issued an apology and have tried to contact Branislav Ivanovic to speak to him personally. I apologise also to my manager, playing colleagues and everyone at Liverpool Football Club for letting them down.”
Later, he tweeted that he had been in touch. “I’ve just spoken to Ivanovic on the phone and I could apologise directly to him,” he said. “Thanks for accepting.” He is understood to have decided not to press charges.
Suarez, who, when an Ajax player, was banned for seven games for biting PSV Eindhoven midfielder Otman Bakkal, is likely to face a lengthy suspension.
