Brendan Rodgers believes Luis Suarez misses the relationship he had with Liverpool fans.

The Uruguay international became a Kop idol during his three years at Anfield, scoring 82 goals in 133 appearances before joining Barcelona for £75m in July 2014.

He absolutely loved it at Liverpool, the supporters adored him and he gave absolutely everything.

"I think he certainly misses the passion of the Liverpool supporters and he loved the competition of the Premier League," Rodgers told talkSPORT.
