Chiellini 'bears no grudge' with Suarez

As Giorgio Chiellini and Luis Suarez head towards a first reunion since the latter's bite at the World Cup, the Juventus defender insists he bears no grudges towards the Uruguayan.

In the final group match between Italy and Uruguay at the World Cup in Brazil last year, Suarez bit the left shoulder of Chiellini - the third time the forward had committed such an offence in his career.

"Suarez? I bear no grudges," Chiellini said.

"I'll mark him like I marked [Karim] Benzema, [Lionel] Messi, like I marked [Cristiano] Ronaldo and Neymar, like I marked [Gareth] Bale."
