Luis Suarez has opened up on life on the sidelines and admits it not easy for him to watch Barcelona play from outside.

The striker is currently serving a four-month ban, imposed on him by FIFA for biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini, in a 2014 World Cup match.

Suarez was however cleared to complete his big-money move from Liverpool to Barca, but is still ineligible to feature for the La Liga giants.

“The truth is that I am really suffering,” Suarez was quoted as saying by Marca.

“I’m banned for quite a few games and I have only missed a few now. I feel so powerless that I’m not able to do anything from the outside.

“I can only talk and scream. It’s the only thing I can do. I have to accept my situation, though.”

The Uruguayan also insisted he was not under any pressure, ahead of his return to football in late October.

He said: “I know that I have to be very cautious. I am calm about it because I used to live in England and went through a similar situation there. I am used to playing under this pressure. I don’t feel any extra pressure because all eyes will be on me.

 “You have to be wary and take responsibility after everything that happened to me. I have to be smart in this regard.”
