Rodgers: We were too soft

Liverpool forward Suso has revealed that he needs a groin operation that will keep him out for around two months.

The 20-year-old was not involved in Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League defeat at Basel despite travelling to Switzerland with the squad.

Suso posted a photo of his injury on Instagram and wrote: "Hello everyone. Just to tell you I'll be out of the team for a couple of months with a surgery operation next week coz of my groins.

"I'll be back soon. Stronger than ever."

Brendan Rodgers said last week that Suso, who is in the final season of his contract at Anfield, is in talks over a new deal.

Suso, a Spain Under-21 international who arrived on Merseyside from Cadiz at the age of 16 in 2010, is keen to secure his Liverpool future after spending last season on loan at Almeria, who he helped avoid relegation from La Liga by one point.

He has made only one appearance so far this season, coming on as a substitute to score in the League Cup third-round tie against Middlesbrough on September 23, which Liverpool won 14-13 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

Rodgers said of Suso last week: "He's a young boy who has come in and worked hard in pre-season, but he hasn't had a lot of game time.

"That's been difficult for him, I'm sure, but he's never shown it. He's shown the same appetite in training."
