Brad Jones says Luis Suarez has been welcomed back into the Liverpool FC squad with open arms in Melbourne.

The Uruguayan may have upset fans with his regular pleas to be granted a transfer this summer but the Reds shot-stopper insists there are no hard feelings towards the striker among his team-mates.

“It’s good to have Luis and Seb Coates back,” Jones said.

“Luis is a bubbly character. You always know when he’s about as you can hear him five rooms away!

“Most of the boys were joking with him about his Uruguayan advert which we saw on the internet.

“He just loves football – he lives and breathes it.

“You saw him in training here, he’s like a little kid. He doesn’t want to stop, it’s like waiting for your mum to call you in.

“He’s that type of character.

“He’s never going to shirk any effort. We don’t expect anything less, no matter what’s gone on in the media.

“He’s the same player we’ve been used to. Nothing has changed.

“He’s still here and we expect it to stay that way. We all hope he stays as he’s a fantastic player.

“I see no reason to doubt that.”
