Barcelona star Luis Suarez has warned Liverpool that MLS-bound Steven Gerrard is 'irreplaceable', but backed the club captain to return to Anfield in the future. Suarez spent three years on Merseyside before making a £75million move to La Liga last summer. The Uruguayan forward credits Gerrard with having a huge impact on his career and insisted manager Brendan Rodgers will find it virtually impossible to replace him when he leaves at the end of the season. 'There are a small number of players in the world that are irreplaceable, and Steven is one of them. Suarez told the Mirror. 'Not just irreplaceable as a player, but also as a captain, and what he represents for Liverpool.
