LIVERPOOL\u2019S striker Luis Suarez will appeal the Football Association (FA) punishment on him for racially abusing Patrice Evra, according to his lawyer.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Balbi, who is also Suarez\u2019s agent, said his player was \u201cconvinced\u201d the punishment would be reversed. Suarez was handed an eight-game ban and \u00a340,000 fine after he used \u201cinsulting words in reference to Manchester United\u2019s defender Evra\u2019s complexion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems to us absolutely out of proportion. It\u2019s one of the hardest sanctions handed down in English football. He (Suarez) is firmly convinced this hard sanction can be reversed,\u201d Balbi said.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a news conference in Uruguay capital, Montevideo, Balbi said that Liverpool\u2019s lawyers would make the appeal to the FA. Suarez, who denied the allegations, has 14 days to launch his appeal against the decision. Should he do so and fail, there is a possibility that the length of the ban could be increased.<\/p>\n

The FA handed the sanctions to Suarez after a six-day hearing found that he racially abused Evra in the 1-1 draw at Anfield on October 15. The Liverpool players warmed up for Wednesday night\u2019s game at Wigan wearing t-shirts in support of Suarez and also released a statement declaring their backing for the 24-year old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
