Luis Suarez has been banned from "all football related activities" for four months - and a total of nine Uruguay games - for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini.

Suarez will miss the remainder of Uruguay's World Cup campaign. He will also be absent for the first nine games of Liverpool's Premier League season, a League Cup tie and their first three Champions League group stage games.

Suarez has also been fined 100,000 Swiss francs, which equates to approzimately €82,000.

Uruguay FA president Wilmar Valdez confirmed on Thursday afternoon that the association would lodge an appeal against the ban.

The incident between Chiellini and Suarez occurred with 10 minutes to play in Uruguay's 1-0 win over the Italians.

During the incident, Suarez was seen to move his head towards Chiellini's shoulder, before the Italian swung his arm towards the Uruguayan and both players then fell to the ground.

Chiellini ran towards the referee, attempting to show the official bite marks on his shoulder but no action was taken at the time. Pictures later appeared to show that Suarez had bitten the the Italian.

In a statement on Thursday, FIFA said that "such behaviour cannot be tolerated on any football pitch, and in particular not at a FIFA World Cup when the eyes of millions of people are on the stars on the field."

It is the third ban for biting of Suarez's career. He was suspended for seven games in 2010 for attacking PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkawhile while playing for Ajax in the Dutch league.

In April 2013 he bit Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic and received a 10-game ban from the FA.

Responding to the news of the sanctions, Liverpool issued a brief statement.

Liverpool chief executive officer Ian Ayre said: "Liverpool Football Club will wait until we have seen and had time to review the FIFA Disciplinary Committee report before making any further comment."

FIFA clarified that the administrative portion of the ban did not preclude Suarez transferring club, should this eventuality arise.
