Evra reveals Liverpool apology nine years after Suarez racism

Patrice Evra has revealed Liverpool chairman Tom Werner recently wrote to him to apologising for the incident nine years ago where Luis Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing him.

The then-Liverpool forward racially insulted the left-back in 2011 when United played Liverpool in the league at Anfield.

The FA charged Suarez and he was found guilty and given an eight-game ban plus a £40,000 fine. Despite the ruling Liverpool came out in support of their player and the squad wore t-shirts supporting the Uruguayan.

Last year Jamie Carragher, who was part of the Liverpool side during the incident, apologised to Evra when they were both on punditry duty for Sky and the left-back has revealed that he has also received an apology from the club – nine years on.
