Liverpool striker Luis Suarez welcomes new baby into family

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has added to his brood ahead of his return to the Premier League this weekend.

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed the news during his press conference previewing this Sunday's clash against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

"[Suarez] is fine, he became a father for the second time so he is on top of the world," the Daily Mail quotes Rodgers as saying.

The 26-year-old's wife Sofia is rumoured on Twitter to have given birth to a baby boy named Benjamin earlier this week.

The couple already have a three-year-old daughter Delfina.
