Brendan Rodgers: 'Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge will work together'
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has said that Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez must work together for the good of the team.
Suarez, who returns from his 10-game suspension for the League Cup clash with Manchester United on September 25, was the Reds' top scorer last season with 30 goals, while Sturridge has scored five goals in all competitions this term.
Rodgers feels that neither man will be considered the star player at Anfield, and claimed that both players have the quality to work together successfully.
"Neither Luis or Daniel will be the main man. This isn't the type of club for egos. It's a club where players get told where to play," Rodgers is quoted as saying in The Mirror.
"We know what strikers are like, but I don't think it's an issue with either Daniel or Luis. People were talking about Suarez making us a one-man team last year and I kept saying that wasn't true.
"We don't mollycoddle them here. They are all expected to come in and do a job. If they want to be the superstar, if they want to be the individual, then they can go elsewhere. It's about the team here."
Liverpool are entertained by Swansea City on Monday night.
