10-game ban could follow after Liverpool defender involved in biting incident

The Reds youngster, currently on loan with Blackburn Rovers, was incredibly sent off for his reaction to being bitten by Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic during the goalless Lancashire derby.

Owen’s got a big bite mark on the back of his neck and it’s a shame the referee didn’t see that,” Rovers boss John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire (via BBC Sport).

The Montenegrin star’s actions will have no doubt conjured up memories of ex-Merseysider Luis Suarez.

The Uruguayan strike, who came close to securing the 2013/14 Premier League title with Brendan Rodgers’ men, courted controversy with his bite on Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic in April 2013.

It’s likely footage of the incident involving Beck will be reviewed by the FA as part of their investigation to determine any potential retrospective action.
