Psychologist: 'Flawed' Suarez 'bite' was 'inevitable'

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Uruguay and Liverpool striker Luis Suarez will face a lengthy ban if he is found guilty of biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in a World Cup match. Luis Suarez has “unfortunately showed his dark side and his vulnerable character again, it was entirely predictable,” said Dr Tom Fawcett, a sports psychologist. When Luis Suarez bit Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in March 2013, Dr Fawcett predicted that it would happen again in the next five years: "I would think that in five years' time if there was a certain nerve hit or chord rung in a different situation he would react in the same way." This clip is from 5 live Breakfast on 25 June.
