Inter Miami striker, Luis Suarez, has been handed a six-game ban.

The punishment was confirmed by the Leagues Cup disciplinary committee following a brawl between Miami and Seattle Sounders five days ago.

Suarez has been adjudged guilty of spitting at a Sounders staff member.

His team-mate, Sergio Busquets, got a two-match suspension for violent conduct, while Tomas Aviles was given a three-game ban also for violent conduct.

Meanwhile, Seattle assistant coach Steven Lenhart was slapped with a five-game ban for violent conduct.

However, these bans apply only to the Leagues Cup competition.

But it is believed that Major League Soccer, MLS, could hand out its own suspensions.
