Brendan Rodgers has urged Luis Suarez to 'move on' from his race row with Patrice Evra.
The Liverpool manager's comments emerge little over 48 hours after the striker reacted to Uruguay's national anthem being booed prior to their 1-0 defeat to Great Britain in Cardiff.
Suarez served an eight-game suspension after the Football Association found him guilty of abusing Manchester United defender Evra during their clash with the Reds last October.
He recently reopened the controversy during interviews in his native South America but Rodgers has implored the striker, who returns to Merseyside next week following his country's elimination from the Olympics, to finally draw a line under the infamous incident.
He said: "The first point is that opposition fans only give people stick because they’re good players - you don’t see bad ones getting the stick from the fans.
“Luis probably still feels a little bit of injustice about last season, but for me now the message is that we have to move on. We have to move forward.
“What’s happened has happened. Let's let it go now, however hard it is. We want to be winning games and doing our best for the football club.
“No matter how hard it is, the message has to be that we must agree to move on and move forward.”
