Liverpool striker Luis Suarez will miss Friday's game against Newcastle United at Anfield after being punished with a one match ban and £20,000 fine for showing Fulham fans the finger at Craven Cottage on 5th December. Suarez pleaded guilty to improper conduct and the club will also have to pay a £20,000 fine for the teams conduct after they surrounded the referee during a seperate incident where Jay Spearing was sent off.
Suarez will serve his first match ban in the Premier League, but is not a stranger to the stands. When playing for Ajax, prior to his move to Liverpool, the Uraguay International was hit with a 7 match ban after biting an opponant in Holland.
It is the 2nd FA punishment for Suarez over the last few weeks after he was charged by the FA after allegedly using a racist term towards Patrice Evra earlier on this season. Liverpool plan to appeal the 8 match ban he picked up and as a result it is yet to come into effect.

I don't know. I'm not too excited over it. Kuyt's been their Magpie killer...he's got 6 goals in 8 starts against us. I'm also worried about our old boys (Carroll and Bellamy) doing their thing against us.
I'm hoping for the sort of listless performance from them that they put in against Blackburn. That and a couple more from Ba!
Liverpool have enough force on the day to destroy most teams, but missing Suarez will be a big loss to them, but Carroll could come back to haunt us especially as there is talk of Gerrard playing so it will suit his style of play
