Behaviour expert Dr. Saima Latif says that Luis Suarez needs treatment to restrain his cannibal instinct, and without it the Uruguayan footballer will bite again.
Dr Latif said that she can bet that Suarez will bite again, and he needs professional help, the Daily Star reported.
She cited Suarez's apology for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini in their World Cup clash with his side Uruguay on June 24 'feeble'. He stops short of saying he actually bit the Italian player, he's not accepting the blame, the report said.
It was the third time Suarez had sunk his teeth into another team's player. Suarez previously bit PSV Eindhoven's Otman Bakkal while playing for Ajax in the Dutch league in 2010, and he bit Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic last year.
The player has been suspended for nine international matches and given a four-month ban from any football activity.
