(CNN) -- Uruguay's controversial World Cup star Luis Suarez has been given a seven-match suspension after being found guilty of biting an opposition player in a Dutch league match.

The striker will miss six Eredivisie games as well as a Dutch Cup tie, ruling him out until his club Ajax's next league match at home to De Graafschap on February 4.

The Amsterdam side's captain was punished by the Royal Netherlands Football Association following an incident in Sunday's 0-0 draw with PSV Eindhoven.

The 23-year-old -- who was infamously sent off during the World Cup quarterfinal against Ghana in July after saving a goal-bound attempt with his hands -- was investigated after biting PSV player Otman Bakkal.

"Ajax and Luis Suarez have accepted the KNVB's settlement proposal of a seven-match suspension," said a statement on the club's website on Wednesday.

Ajax had already fined Suarez and banned him for the club's next two domestic matches.

"The fine will go towards a charitable cause," Ajax said.

Suarez, who played in Ajax's 4-0 defeat by Real Madrid on Tuesday night, will be available for the final Champions League Group G match at AC Milan on December 8.

He was named the 2010 Dutch footballer of the year after scoring 49 goals in all competitions last season, and has now netted more than 100 times for Ajax since joining the club in 2007.

He actually has talent so Man Utd would be more likely

Ye perhaps, I'm not sure if SAF would tolerate his behaviour, but then he's alright with Rooney, so he seems to be making exceptions in his old age

He "tolerated" Cantona, Keane, Scholes, Butt......
 
I had to laugh, watching Ajax vs RM last night. There was this dude, celebrated denying a country a place in the semis of the WC, biting opponents on the pitch, yet this moron was on the pitch, shaking his head at Ramos and Alonso for time wasting. LOL!

Sorry, what was that ourcaptainhitspeopleinbars? Hope I didn't sense any judgement from a Liverpool fan.

No judgement, he's just saying that bad behavior on the pitch is tolerated by Fergie if you've got the talent to back it up by winning him titles. Nothing wrong there in my opinion.

In your opinion, but you can't tell me if there was a judgement implied, on Alan can, and judging by the video, I'm guessing that yes, it was implied

No one is disputing that Keane could be a dirty player, my point was, don't point fingers unless you've never had a dirty player on your team. Can you make that claim? If not, then that is massively hypocritical. I could post videos of Gerrard punching and barging people.
 
Dirty player, dirty team two different things :p

Too many commas in your first sentence for me to fully understand what you were asking.

As to the other thing... well we all have dirty players in our teams, both now and in the past and will have them in the future. It's the nature of the game.
