Rodgers brushes off Suarez with exit reports

TodayAston Villa vs Liverpool 13:30 SS3LONDON - Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has dismissed reports that star striker Luis Suarez could be set to leave the club in the summer.In an interview in his native Uruguay ahead of last week’s World Cup Qualifiers, the Premier League’s leading scorer seemed to suggest that he would be willing to consider a move away from Anfield.Managing Director Ian Ayre has also denied that Suarez is unhappy and told Sky Sports that the 26-year-old had been misquoted and that the speculation is of ‘no great relevance to Liverpool.’With a away fixture on Sunday against Aston Villa firmly in his sights, Rodgers said: ‘I haven’t spoken to Luis yet. He was back late on Thursday and we just ran the medical team over him and he trained on Friday.‘All I am aware of is we have an outstanding player who has given everything for the club and he is very happy here.‘Every time he goes away, there is always something. I always say to players I have a simple rule: when you are with Liverpool just talk about Liverpool and when you are away with your international team concentrate on your international team so there is no drama.‘So what he says when he is with Uruguay is of no great relevance to Liverpool.’Agencies
