Liverpool to decide on Luis Suarez appeal as Rodgers fears striker could quit

Sport

Liverpool will decide on Friday morning whether or not to appeal against Luis Suarez’s 10-match ban for biting BranislavIvanovic.

The club received the written reasons for the length of the suspension around 6pm on Thursday – and now have until noon to contest the punishment.

Speaking before Anfield chiefs received the independent regulatory commission’s judgement, manager Brendan Rodgers spoke emotively in defence of his striker at a press conference.

Rodgers accused the FA’s panel of being biased against the Uruguay international and “throwing him to the garbage”.

He also admitted he would understand if his top scorer decided to quit English football.

“This is a guy who I see on a daily basis trying very hard,” Rodgers, who is unlikely to face FA action over his comments, said.

“Each time he makes a step forward we find ways to beat him with a stick and beat him down. I can understand if he felt like that in a moment of reflection.”
