Brendan Rodgers has warned Luis Suarez that he will no longer be the main man at Liverpool when he returns from suspension.

The Uruguayan, who is serving a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, has seen Daniel Sturridge take the plaudits so far this season, scoring the winner in each of Liverpool’s opening three games.

This is in stark contrast to last season, where Suarez carried the Reds’ main goal threat, but Rodgers insists there are no ‘stars’ in his new-look Liverpool side.

‘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,’ he told the Sunday Mirror.

‘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. 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. Luis himself didn’t think like that and when he comes back, we’ve got another world-class player to fit in the team.’
