Suarez arrives but future clouded Another week, another giant English Premier League club landing in Australia with unwanted baggage. While Manchester United spent last week in Sydney fending off questions about their disgruntled England striker Wayne Rooney, Liverpool face more of the same about their star striker Luis Suarez in Melbourne this week. The biggest difference is that Suarez has actually made it to Australia, flying into Sydney on Sunday to join up with Liverpool's pre-season tour, arriving ahead of his teammates who beat an Indonesian XI 2-0 in Jakarta on Saturday night. Rooney never made it to Sydney a week ago - sent home from Bangkok with a hamstring injury from Manchester United's first training session of their tour. That didn't stop new United manager David Moyes fielding plenty of questions about his disaffected striker from touring English media and Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers can expect similar about Suarez ahead of Wednesday's match against Melbourne Victory at the MCG. The 26-year-old Suarez has made no secret of his desire to leave Anfield. He was always due to meet up with the Reds partway through their tour, having been given extra time off following his appearances at the Confederations Cup with Uruguay. But Rodgers still had to dismiss any suggestion Suarez might not turn up in Australia. "He's on the plane and we will see him in Melbourne," Rodgers told The Sun. He added: "I'm looking forward to seeing him - he's a player I've always supported. I understand the situation but the bottom line is he is employed by the club. The money goes into his bank at the end of every month, so he should be here. If he's not, which I doubt, there will be a problem. One player who does appear to be on his way out of the club is goalkeeper Pepe Reina. The Spaniard has been heavily linked with a move to Serie A side Napoli following the arrival of Simon Mignolet from Sunderland. "I've a lot of time for Pepe," Rodgers said. He has a big season with the World Cup. If he wasn't going to be playing, it could severely harm his chances of going. Liverpool had to work solidly for their win in Jakarta, scoring through Philippe Coutinho in the ninth minute and Raheem Sterling in the 87th. Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard told broadcaster SCTV he was glad to win and was focusing on getting his team back into the Champions League after failing to make the grade last term. "I want to win football matches, and hopefully with our support all around the world, it'd be nice to get some trophies and try and get back into the Champions League," he said.
