He'll have to stand trial, and will probably plea-bargain his way to a small fine, after which the FA will declare that, since the courts have handled the matter, there's no need for any further disciplinary action, particularly anything that might endanger his status as England's Captain.

If there's one thing you can count on from the FA, it's an utter double-standard when it comes to them furrin' players versus members of Our England Team. If Suárez had been a British subject, and eligible for the national team, we'd be hearing about how the FA took a strong stand against racism by banning Patrice Evra for eight matches.
