Suarez saga won’t affect team — Dalglish

LIVERPOOL manager Kenny Dalglish has dismissed suggestions the outside issues surrounding Luis Suarez’s eight-match ban will spill over and affect his team.

While the Uruguay international has been the focus of most of the attention even before he was found guilty of using insulting words towards Patrice Evra, with a reference to the Manchester United player’s skin colour, other players are being drawn in.

His team-mates issued a statement of support prior to Wednesday’s goalless draw at Wigan.
