Needs a rest ... Liverpool striker Luis Suarez 9Getty)
Australian fans may miss out on watching Liverpool drawcard Luis Suarez when the famous English club faces Melbourne Victory in July.
The Reds will face the two-time A-League champion at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 24 July but manager Brendan Rodgers said he might not include the Uruguay striker in the pre-season touring party because of a fear of burnout, The Guardian reported.
Liverpool also faces a Thailand selection four days later in Bangkok.
Suarez has played 43 games for Liverpool this season and will be a member of Uruguay's side to take part in the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil from 15-30 June.
”If Luis is playing in that tournament, he may not be back at the start of pre-season for us because he needs to have a recovery period,” Rodgers said.
”There will be an individual pattern for every player. The idea is to get everyone back in the summer as soon as possible to have a real push next year."
