Reds officials, who received the written report of the independent disciplinary panel, have until midday today to opt to contest a punishment Rodgers described as "severe". The Northern Irishman, speaking before the report arrived, was also critical of the intent to punish and not re-educate in the panel's ruling."It is a very important aspect of modern life and he will have all the help in order to improve and make that behaviour not happen again.I asked Luis what was he thinking and he couldn't answer it. This is just an impulsive, inherent thing which came at that moment.That is something the club will address with the help of renowned sports psychologist Dr Steve Peters, who has been working one day at the club's Melwood training ground most of the season. Rodgers said: "That is something which remains in confidence and private to ourselves but we will be able to put in place the various needs in order for him to get that help,In modern life, whether you are a footballer, plumber, joiner, bricklayer, work in a warehouse, you are not immune to issues and problems," he added.He added "As managers we look after the technical and physical side but the wellness and mental side of players can sometimes get overlooked.
