Chiellini said he has no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against the Liverpool striker.

Suarez, who flew into Uruguayan capital, Montevideo, in the early hours of Friday morning, denied the biting allegations, claiming the centre half bumped into him.

Suarez has also lost the sponsorship of an online gambling firm, which had decided to terminate its relationship with the England based striker.

FIFA on Monday banned Suarez for nine international matches and suspended him for four months from all football related activities as well as imposing over sixty-five thousand dollars fine on him after he was found guilty of biting Chiellini during Uruguay’s final group match against Italy.
