In an earlier statement, he said: I apologise to my manager and everyone at Liverpool for letting them down.Shortly after the match, Rodgers had said no individual was "bigger than the club" after pledging to review the incident.Reds manager Brendan Rodgers added: "Having reviewed the video footage and spoken to Luis, his behaviour is unacceptable and I have made him aware of this.This is a club with incredible values and ethics, he said. There's certainly no-one bigger than this club, a player or manager.Blues defender Ivanovic, 29, complained to referee Kevin Friend that he had been bitten on his right arm by Suarez after their clash inside the Chelsea penalty area.It is not the first time this season that Suarez has been criticised by Rodgers, with the former Swansea boss angered by the striker's admission of diving against Stoke.Ian Ayre, the Premier League club's managing director, added Suarez's behaviour did not "befit" that of a Liverpool player.Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech said immediately after the match that Ivanovic had not mentioned the incident in the Blues' dressing room.Luis is aware that he has let himself and everyone associated with the club down, said Ayre, who cancelled a planned trip to Australia to personally handle the fallout.
