Liverpool boss Rodgers reveals text message from Barcelona's Suarez

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez was in contact with Liverpool before their opening day victory over Southampton. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers revealed he received a text from Suarez before kickoff.

"He sent us a lovely text this morning wishing us all the best, which was a great gesture. He is a friend now of Liverpool.

"He is a great boy but he is gone now. Our ambitions here at Liverpool have to be bigger than one player. We do still want another striker but that will depend on the availability."
