FIFA still gathering information on the incident during the match between Chile and Uruguay when Luis Suarez hit in the face Gonzalo Jarrah.

The arbitrator Nestor Pitana did not judge anything, so now the Uruguayan striker may be sanctioned only on the video recording, and report to the delegate.

FIFA explained that they have not yet received all records of referees and delegates, and only after have all documents will consider what sanction to impose.

The video recording clearly shows what happens, which can be very uncomfortable for Suarez. Anyway he will miss the next qualifier against Venezuela due to accumulated cards, but it is likely to be banned for a few games after that.
