Milutin Osmajic, a Preston North End forward, received an eight-match ban and a £15,000 fine for biting Blackburn's Owen Beck during their Championship draw. The incident occurred after a confrontation when Beck was sent off. The FA compared the situation to Luis Suarez's 2013 biting incident.

Preston North End's Milutin Osmajic has been slapped with an eight-match ban after a biting incident involving Blackburn Rovers' Owen Beck, the Football Association (FA) announced.

The altercation erupted during a match, leading to Osmajic admitting his actions in the game's final minutes. The FA conducted a hearing, subsequently delivering its ruling and fining Osmajic £15,000.

This recent incident evokes memories of Luis Suarez’s 2013 suspension after a similar episode, underlining recurring concerns over sportsmanship in football.
