While Uruguay's Copa America hopes hang in the balance, their suspended star striker Luis Suarez is using the summer holiday to spend some quality time with his family.
The 28-year-old took to Instagram on Friday afternoon to upload a heartwarming photo with his wife Sofia Balbi and their two children Benjamin and Delfina on a sandy resort.
Suarez is on vacation at the moment with his family, as opposed to representing his country in Chile, due to the fact he continues to serve the rest of his FIFA-imposed ban for biting Giorgio Chiellini.

The Barcelona star was given a nine-game ban for the incident with the Italy defender at last summer’s World Cup, which subsequently meant him missing out on the Copa America.
In his absence, the defending champions have struggled so far - narrowly-beating invited nation Jamaica 1-0 before losing by the same scoreline to Argentina on Tuesday.
Prior to the latter encounter Uruguay fans unfurled a 'Free Suarez' banner before kick-off in support of their missing forward.
And Uruguay manager Oscar Tabarez will be hoping Edinson Cavani can fire them to glory against Paraguay on Saturday as they bid to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament.
