Inter Miami is reeling after star player Luis Suárez received a staggering six-match suspension following his involvement in an explosive incident after the Leagues Cup final.
The Uruguayan forward, 38, was at the center of controversy when he confronted Seattle Sounders’ Obed Vargas, leading to a chaotic brawl on the pitch after Miami’s crushing 3-0 defeat.
Known for his tumultuous history, Suárez’s latest misstep included spitting at a member of the opposing team’s staff.
The disciplinary committee clarified that this punishment will only apply to future editions of the Leagues Cup, but the MLS has stated it reserves the right to impose additional sanctions if deemed necessary.
