The Uruguayan, who went on to score the sides 97th minute equaliser in the 2-2 draw tangled with the Chelsea defender during the second half of the Premier League clash, appearing to bite him in the process. The referee Kevin Friend did not take any action at the time and after the match both managers said they would have to review the footage before commenting.
Rodgers said: "I hear all sorts of what has supposedly happened but I'll go away, review it and comment later"
"We'll go away and speak to the owners (Fenway Sports Group) and take it from there.
"This is a club with incredible values and ethics here. As footballers, managers and staff we are representing this great club on and off the field.
"People have to accept it when they do wrong if that's what the case is. They have to accept the consequences accordingly. It's disappointing that we are not talking about the football."
This is not the first time that Suarez has been linked with biting having received a seven match ban for a similar incident whilst playing for former club Ajax.
