Luis Suarez is set for a sensational return to Liverpool, with the Uruguay international ready to feature in a charity match at Anfield later this month.

The match on March 29 has been organised by the Liverpool FC Foundation and will feature sides led by Reds legends Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

It has been confirmed that the now Barcelona forward will make an appearance and Brendan Rodgers has confessed that it will be great to see the tempestuous forward back on Merseyside.

“It'll be great. We've kept in contact since he's been away. He's a top-class player. He loved his time here at Liverpool. He always wanted to come back,” Rodgers stated in a press conference.

“He's got [commitments] internationally but he's making every effort off his own bat to come back. It'll be brilliant to see him and great for the supporters.

“He loved Liverpool while he was here. He's gone to another country, but he's certainly adored here. The supporters loved having him here.

“Every time he stepped on to a training pitch, he gave everything. He'll probably want to win this game as well.”

Suarez was a key player in Liverpool’s title push last season, which saw the Reds finish second to Manchester City in the Premier League.

However, Rodgers’ men could not hold onto their prize asset, with Suarez now starring in Barcelona’s forward line.

He was also embroiled in a number of scandals, namely the racial abuse of Patrice Evra and biting of Branislav Ivanovic.

Money raised from the game will go to Liverpool’s foundation, which funds community initiatives across the city.
