Luis Suarez blocked from making Liverpool comeback
LUIS SUAREZ will be presented with the European Golden Shoe by Kenny Dalglish next week.
The Barcelona striker plundered 31 goals for the Reds last season to share the award with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.
Suarez wanted to involve his former club in the ceremony by receiving the gong in front of his old supporters at Anfield.
However, according to World Soccer, the Uruguayan's initial idea was not possible.

Instead, Suarez has arranged for Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish to fly to Barcelona to present him with the award on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old had also hoped for Steven Gerrard to join him at the event but the Kop skipper was reportedly unable to travel.
Ronaldo will be handed his award in a separate ceremony in Madrid on 6 November.
