The Anfield boss has vowed to take "strong, decisive
action" against the striker, who is desperate to leave the club this
summer, and has reportedly been ordered to train alone
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says Luis Suarez has shown
the club "total disrespect" by publicly declaring his desire to leave
Anfield this summer.
Suarez - who has been the subject of an offer from
Arsenal - once again indicated he wanted to leave the club to play Champions
League football in an interview on Tuesday and insists he was promised he could
do as such.
Rodgers has been left disappointed by the Uruguayan's
lack of appreciation for the support shown to him by the Merseyside outfit, and
has reportedly ordered Suarez to train alone for the foreseeable.
"There were no promises made - categorically none -
and no promises broken," Rodgers said after a friendly win over Valarenga.
"The club and his representatives had several conversations and he knew
exactly where he was at.
"I think Luis knows the support he's had at the
football club and that's something that's been unswerving throughout the whole
of last season.
"Obviously the remarks I've read are bitterly disappointing
- but my job is bigger than that. My job is to fight and protect the club. The
conversations I've had with him, he knows I've had and they will remain
private.
"I will take strong, decisive action, absolutely.
There has been total disrespect of the club - this is a lack of respect of a
club that has given him everything. Absolutely everything.
Rodgers also denied Liverpool inserted a clause in
Suarez's contract to allow him to leave for offers from Champions League clubs
in excess of £40 million.
He continued: "I don't believe there is a clause in
his contract that says he can leave for any sort of price."
