Suarez could face action over Jara jab

Uruguay striker Luis Suarez could face action after he was caught on camera aiming a jab into the face of Chile's Gonzalo Jara during their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

Suarez, who has courted controversy in the Premier League during his time at Liverpool, was on the losing side as Esteban Paredes and Eduardo Vargas gave Jorge Sampaoli's Chile a 2-0 win, but hit the headlines again as he seemed to punch Jara while tussling for a corner.

The referee took no action over the incident, but did book the Liverpool striker for protesting later in the game and he will miss the next qualifying duel against Venezuela as a result.

During the 2010 World Cup, Spain striker David Villa was seen to strike Honduras defender Emilio Izaguirre in the face, but the incident was missed by the referee.

Villa escaped action as FIFA claimed in a statement: "The disciplinary committee examined the incident and found no grounds to open a case."
