Rodgers says Suarez won’t be thrown into the garbage

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists striker Luis Suarez will not be “thrown into the garbage” following his 10-match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic.

The Reds boss reiterated the stance of managing director Ian Ayre earlier this week by stressing the club will not sell the Uruguay international.

And he remains confident that once Suarez has got over the shock of his suspension he will look to the future with Liverpool and not seek a move elsewhere despite suggestions he felt victimised in England and was considering his options.
