Liverpool players ‘expect Suarez to stay’

LIVERPOOL goalkeeper Brad Jones has claimed that want-away striker Luis Suarez’s attitude towards other members of the squad has been no different since he linked up with the squad for their overseas tour, according to The Independent.

The Uruguay international has been the subject of much speculation this summer, after publicly revealing his displeasure at life in England, though he has now rejoined his team-mates in Australia in time to face Melbourne Victory.

The striker was granted additional leave due to his participation for Uruguay in the Confederations Cup, it was during this tournament that Suarez’s agent, Pere Guardiola, informed the Reds that Suarez was after Champions League football, but would not attempt to force a move from Anfield.

Despite Suarez’s apparent desire to leave, goalkeeper Jones has claimed that he has not acted any differently around anybody in the club following his return, and the Australian expects him to stay at Liverpool.

“It’s good to have Luis and (fellow Uruguay international) Seb Coates back, most of the boys were joking with him about his Uruguayan television advert which we saw on the internet.

“He’s the same player we’ve been used to. Nothing has changed. He’s still here and we expect it to stay that way. We all hope he stays as he’s a fantastic player. I see no reason to doubt that.”
