14 Things Luis Suarez Can't Do During His Ban (And 8 He Surprisingly Can)

8. Sign For Another Club

LiverpoolFC.comLiverpoolFC.comWell, not any more, but not because he's not allowed, strictly speaking. It's hardly likely that Barca - a club who very publicly courted the player like a teenage girl determined to ignore the transgressions of the high school bad boy in the vain hope that she's definitely the one to change him - will suddenly decide to cash in their new player without him even playing.

7. Train On His Own Away From Official Club Facilities

The clarification of FIFA's ruling has yet to actually sufficiently answer the question of balls: if FIFA have envisaged a situation where the punishment should be so complete that Suarez cannot even develop himself in technical terms, and can only keep his physique up to a useful level, then it's unlikely he'd be allowed to do keepy uppies, but that might be deemed entirely too draconian by a ruling body who have already defied expectations in letting him move.

6. Give Media Interviews

5. Play Football With His Children Or Friends
