Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers admits he wants an end to the transfer saga over Luis Suarez.
Liverpool's principal owner John Henry is adamant he will not sell the striker so, even if he remains at Anfield beyond the end of the current transfer window, the 26-year-old cannot be picked until the end of September.
"For me Luis Suarez is very simple. I will start off by saying there has been so much written and said about Luis over the last few months," said Rodgers.
"From our perspective there is a standpoint from the club and myself that has not changed. What I want to concentrate on is the players that are available for this weekend so I won't be speaking any more about Luis Suarez until he is available.
"I don't really want to answer any more questions on Luis Suarez.
"There is nothing to be said that hasn't already been said. I am sure people are fed up of listening about it and reading about it.
"My only concentration is the players who are available and, from the first day they came back, they've had a real hard pre-season.
"Purely out of respect to them and the work which has been going on, I only want to talk about them."
