The Italian defender who was bitten by Luis Suarez has launched a defense of the banned striker.
Giorgio Chiellini says “now inside me there’s no feelings of joy, revenge or anger against Suarez for an incident that happened on the pitch”
Chiellini added that the 4 month ban imposed on the Liverpool forward by FIFA was excessively harsh.
The Uruguayan FA is expected to appeal the suspension, which will also see him miss nine international matches.
His club Liverpool are also thought to be taking legal advice as a result of the sanctions.
