A smiling Luis Suarez (back left) attends Liverpool's opening fixture of the Premier League season. The Uruguayan striker is serving the fifth game of a 10-match ban for biting Branislav Ivanovic in a match against Chelsea last April. Suarez's future at Liverpool is in doubt following an acrimonious summer in which the striker has agitated for a move away from Merseyside. Liverpool insist the player is not for sale.
