Meanwhile, Rodgers remains confident that, once Suarez has got over the shock of his suspension, he will look to the future with Liverpool and not seek a move elsewhere despite suggestions he felt victimised in England and was considering his options. Rodgers continued: "He fell way below the standards set at the club but it doesn't mean he should be thrown to the garbage, which is what has happened with a lot of people in the last few days. "He is working tirelessly, him and his family, to fit into the way of life in this country. Unfortunately for him he has made a mistake and he has got a sanction which I don't believe fits with what he did. "It is way too early to say (about the player's future). Having spoken a lot with him he is visibly very disappointed. "This is something he knows was clear and he expected the punishment and I think he hoped he would be supported in a rehabilitation process. "But I look in his face and for the first time since I arrived here I see a genuine guy who is bitterly disappointed."
