Luis Suarez will represent Liverpool for the first time since expressing a desire to leave the club in the Australian leg of their pre-season tour this week.

The 26-year-old has joined up with his teammates since having extra time off due to his exploits with Uruguay at the Confederations Cup.

Despite ongoing questions over his Anfield future, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that he will play a part in Wednesday's game against Melbourne Victory.

The controversial forward has already been the subject of a rejected bid from Arsenal.
