Banned in Leagues Cup, Suárez handed three more MLS match suspensions | OneFootball

The Uruguayan forward Luis Suárez was suspended this Monday for three games in the MLS, a punishment that adds to the six-game suspension in the Leagues Cup, whose final was marked by a brawl between players from Inter Miami and the Seattle Sounders.

After the match, held on August 31, Suárez, from Inter, spat at a member of the Seattle coaching staff, who won 3-0.

The 38-year-old Uruguayan “will serve his suspension on September 13 (against Charlotte FC), September 16 (against the Seattle Sounders), and September 20 (against DC United),” says a statement from the North American league.

So far, Inter Miami has not indicated that it will appeal the suspension.

Meanwhile, Steven Lenhart, a member of the Seattle Sounders coaching staff, also involved in the brawl, lost his credential for the remainder of the MLS season, including the playoffs.

Lenhart, who was suspended for five games in the Leagues Cup, will not be able to access the locker room or be near the players on game days. A new credential request will be evaluated before the start of the 2026 season.

Additionally, the Seattle Sounders received a fine, the amount of which was not disclosed, for the improper use of credentials.
