Luis Suarez's legal representative Alejandro Balbi reveals the Uruguayan will appeal his eight-match ban and fine for an alleged racist remark against Patrice Evra.

Luis Suarez will appeal against his eight-match suspension and fine for an alleged racist remark against Patrice Evra, his lawyer has revealed.

The Liverpool frontman was handed the punishment on Tuesday and has since received the full backing of both his club and teammates.

"The appeal is total, over and above there being a monetary aspect and another with a match suspension," said Alejandro Balbi, Suarez's legal representative and agent.

He told a news conference in Montevideo that it would be Liverpool's lawyers who made the appeal to the English FA.

"[Suarez] is firmly convinced that this hard sanction can be reversed," Balbi added.

"It's one of the hardest sanctions handed down in English football, so it seems to us absolutely out of proportion."

The 24-year-old featured in the Reds' goalless draw at Wigan this evening.
