Football Association begin Luis Suarez racism hearing

The Football Association has begun a disciplinary hearing into racism claims made against Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.

The 24-year-old allegedly abused Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra during the 1-1 draw at Anfield in October.

Suarez, who has been charged with the offence, is expected to attend the hearing over the next couple of days to give evidence.

A verdict is likely to be given by the end of the week.
