Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers explained the supersub role for Danny Sturridge after their 3-3 thriller at Everton.
Sturridge came off the bench to salvage a point with an 89th-minute header after two goals from Romelu Lukaku had turned around Liverpool's 2-1 advantage with Philippe Coutinho and Suarez scoring either side of Mirallas.
Rodgers decided the striker, who has been playing with a dead leg, was not fit to start after being over-played at Wembley.
"He had obviously not trained and he played 90 minutes (against Germany) and anyone who saw the game could tell he was not fit," said the Reds boss.
"Because he played 90 minutes he couldn't train because he has to recover.
"His first action on the field was Friday and assessing him on that he was nowhere near ready to start.
"I said to him before the game he has been a match-winner for us since he came in but he may have to do it from the bench.
"Thankfully he came in and got a great header."
