Liverpool boss Brendan Rogers promises a strong Liverpool line-up for Victory game at MCG Liverpool have arrived in Australia amid questions over the future of Luiz Suarez, but that won't stop over 90,000 fans packing into the MCG on Wednesday night. LIVERPOOL manager Brendan Rodgers says a full-strength Reds line-up will be deployed against Melbourne Victory at a sold-out MCG. And Rodgers insists the two-time A-League champions will provide his team with a stern challenge on Wednesday night. The Reds have brought out a 28-man squad brimming with talent, including captain Steven Gerrard. Each of the club's four new signings, Luis Alberto, Iago Aspas, Kolo Toure and goal keeper Simon Mignolet, started in the unconvincing 2-0 tour win in Indonesia on Saturday night, while Gerrard got through 45 minutes after off-season shoulder surgery. Rodgers said the Victory match is an important stepping stone in his side's English Premier League preparations. "The players aren't quite up for 90 minutes yet," Rodgers said this morning. You would have seen in the game in Indonesia we played a team for around about 60 minutes and then we looked to make changes. The players are only about three weeks in to their preparation. But they'll all be involved. They'll all have some part to play. It's really about our fitness levels at this point in time. Rodgers even said controversial striker Luis Suarez may take his place on the field this week, despite speculation surrounding a potential move away from Anfield. Both Arsenal and Real Madrid have made plays for the Uruguayan, but Rodgers is firm in his belief that Suarez will remain a Liverpool player this season. Suarez missed the game in Indonesia, but arrived in Melbourne hours before his teammates yesterday "There's been a lot of speculation," Rodgers said. But the reality is that he's a player that's very much valued at Liverpool and unless there's any sort of offer that comes in that reflects his value then there's nothing to consider. And we haven't had that. Liverpool FC manager Brendan Rodgers and managing director Ian Ayre pose with a jersey ahead of their match against Melbourne Victory on Wednesday. I'm quite relaxed about it. Luis is out here as expected. He's an integral part of our squad. We'll chat at some stage, as I do with all the players. But he's back, he's in great spirits. He's obviously an integral part of the group and you could see the expression of his teammates last night when they saw him for the first time in a number of weeks. He'll join training today with all the other players and then over the course of the next few weeks we'll communicate, but him and I have been in regular communications over the summer. Victory will be missing two of its best players, Archie Thompson and Mark Milligan, as well as new signing Mitch Nichols this week. The trio are on Socceroos duty in South Korea for the East Asian Cup, as were goalkeeper Nathan Coe and Connor Pain, but those two players have returned to Melbourne for the Liverpool game. Regardless, Rodgers expects a solid encounter against Ange Postecoglou's side. "We know it's going to be a tough game for us, that was the reason for coming out here as part of our preparation for the Premier League," he said. We're still in our preparation phase. It's a game we're looking forward to. The Aussie boys are always very committed and I'm sure the whole atmosphere and the game will be terrific. They're very professional and have some very good players, so we understand that it's a tough match for us and it is perfectly placed in our preparation. Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre also stressed the financial importance of the club's trip to Melbourne. "It might surprise some people to know that commercially it's in our top five in almost every metric - from our online figures to our website, our retail figures," Ayre said. The general commercial profile for Australia is right up there, I think you're only sitting behind the United States and the United Kingdom in terms of markets, particularly recently. So it's a very important market for us and it's a testament to Brendan and the team that we've made the trip down here finally.
