Liverpool defender Daniel Agger has insisted that the Luis Suarez racism row is not in the team's thoughts.
The Uruguayan has been given an eight-game ban and a £40,000 fine by the Football Association over making racist comments towards Manchester United defender Patrice Evra during a match in October.
"That is not on our mind," Agger said. "We are playing football and that is most important, we don't think about that stuff.
"The squad is together, that is the way it is. [Support for Suarez] has never been in doubt."
The Liverpool players and coaching staff have been criticised by anti-racism groups for wearing t-shirts bearing Suarez's image during the warm-up for their game against Wigan Athletic on Wednesday.
