The Barcelona forward will not face any sanction despite the emergence of footage purportedly showing him moving his mouth towards the hand of the Manchester City defender

Uefa has announced that no action will be taken against Luis Suarez after it was suggested that he might have once again bitten a fellow player.

The Barcelona striker was pictured in an altercation with Manchester City's Martin Demichelis during the two sides' Champions League encounter on Tuesday.

Grainy footage of a coming-together in the second half of Barca's 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium showed Demichelis extending his arm in Suarez's direction and some argued that the forward had moved his face towards the Argentine's hand in response.

But Uefa has confirmed to Goal that there was no mention of the incident in referee Felix Brych's official report and that the European governing body will take no action as a result.

"Nothing was mentioned in the reports and no action is taken," said a Uefa spokesperson.

Suarez was handed a four-month ban from football in 2014 after biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during a World Cup match, having already been suspended for two previous bites at club level.

The 28-year-old initially denied having sunk his teeth into Chiellini but later admitted to the offence before signing for Barcelona from Liverpool.
