When Uruguay soccer star Luis Suarez ends his career he might want to consider becoming a zombie. On Tuesday he bit a player during a game for the third time as a professional soccer player.

Not only did Italy lose 1-0 to Uruguay on Tuesday during its World Cup match, but Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini lost a bit of his shoulder during the 79th minute of play, ESPN reported Tuesday.

To add insult to injury, Suarez wasn’t penalized by referees.
