FIFA have confirmed that they have opened an inquiry regarding the incident, but the Blues boss has admitted that the striker needs psychological help, with this being the third such instance.

“There is no doubt that the quality of the talent that he has,” he is reported as saying by ESPN.

“He can win games single-handed and he's got that focus, that mentality that he can get back from a situation he shouldn't have derived.

“But the behaviour, I just seriously think that he needs help. If you cannot control yourself in those moments, you need some sort of help because that's just unacceptable on a football pitch.

“This is a behaviour that has happened already two times and Luis Suarez, as a wonderful footballer that he is, has been banned twice. It has been such a controversial way of acting on a football pitch that you see it again and everyone feels upset.

“We can't celebrate [the game]. We can't talk about what Uruguay did. We can't talk about why Mario Balotelli didn't come on in the second half.

“It's about how Luis Suarez is allowed to play the game without carrying that responsibility that you have as a player, being a role model to the younger generation. You cannot justify it.”
