Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is in attendance for the club's opening Premier League fixture against Stoke.
The
Uruguayan has agitated for a move to a Champions League club for the
duration of the summer, but having been pictured smiling as he walked
into Anfield this afternoon, the chances of him leaving the club appear
to have reduced.
Arsenal had a bid in excess of £40 million
rejected for the controversial frontman earlier this summer but a
further move from the Gunners has not been forthcoming, nor has reported
interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Suarez was ordered by
manager Brendan Rodgers to apologise to his teammates for his behaviour
after his public outburst to two national newspapers about his desire to
leave or he would remain training with the reserve team.
A
breakthrough appeared to be struck yesterday when Suarez was pictured
training with the first team, while Rodgers revealed the striker was in a
better frame of mind.
"Luis Suarez is back in the group; he's smiling and happy," Rodgers told BT Sport.
And
after making an appearance in front of the Kop this afternoon, it seems
the 26-year-old may have to settle for staying on Merseyside for the
time being at least, with Rodgers and managing director Ian Ayre both
vehement in their efforts to keep their prized asset.
