Inter Miami has officially released a statement following Major League Soccer’s decision to hand Luis Suárez a one match suspension for an incident that occurred during their recent 2-1 defeat to Nashville SC.
The suspension sprang from a moment in the game when Suarez kicked a Nashville defender Andy Najar, an action that was later reviewed by the Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed this in his official X handle, He posted:
Softfootball had earlier reported that Luis Suarez got a six-match suspension for spitting at a Seattle Sounders staff member after losing 3-0 to them in the Leagues Cup final.
In a statement released by the club as seen on their official X handle, they confirmed that they had received official notification of the ruling and stated that they accept the outcome from the Disciplinary Committee.
However, the club expressed concern about the process used to reach the verdict,
At the same time, the club wishes to express its concern about the precedent set by re-refereeing a play that had already been judged by the match officials and VAR,
Inter Miami emphasized its expectation for consistent disciplinary standards across all teams and matches, saying it remains confident MLS will ensure fairness in future rulings.
Suárez, whose performance has been impressive, having scored 33 goals in 56 games in over two years and has been instrumental alongside Lionel Messi in Miami’s attack, will now miss their upcoming fixture.
His absence will be felt as the club looks to rebound from consecutive poor results and push for a stronger finish to the season.
