‘Request was denied’ – Inter Miami manager Javier Mascherano confirms MLS rejected Luis Suárez appeal for decisive Game 3 against Nashville

The suspension MLS handed to Luis Suárez, a one-match ban, followed after he kicked Honduran player Andy Najar. Mascherano revealed the league was quick in denying the striker’s appeal. 

“The player appealed the sanction because in this case, we were told the club couldn’t do it,” Mascherano said. “He appealed using the club’s resources, but within a few hours, the request was denied.”
