Liverpool striker Luis Suarez will not travel with the squad to Norway for the pre-season friendly against Valerenga because of a foot injury.

The Barclays Premier League club confirmed the Uruguayan, a recent transfer target for Arsenal, would stay behind "as a precaution following an injury in training yesterday".

Liverpool announced on their website: "He will undergo a scan on his foot later today."

Manager Brendan Rodgers will take a 21-man squad that includes captain Steven Gerrard but is also shorn of Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel and Glen Johnson who have what the club describe as "knocks".
