The club announced they had decided not to appeal against the Football Association punishment imposed for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra just over an hour before last night's 3-0 defeat at Manchester City.
With one match already out of the way and the prospect of possibly half the suspension being served in cup competitions, Dalglish will be hoping the unavailability of his top scorer and chief creator will not be detrimental to their Champions League qualification ambitions.
Suarez will miss both legs of their Carling Cup semi-final against City and if, as expected, they get past League One Oldham in Friday's third round a further two will be taken up by the FA Cup.
That would see Suarez available to return for the equally-important month of February, when they host Tottenham and Everton either side of a potentially vitriol-filled trip to Old Trafford.
"He has an eight-game punishment and he has to serve it so I suppose now is as good a time as any to serve it," said Dalglish.

Chelsea battling to convince Higuain to quit Real Madrid
AS says last week an agent representing Chelsea made contact with Higuain's father, Jorge, about the prospect of a move to London - but received little encouragement.
Jorge informed the rep that if his son wanted to leave Real, he'd have to make a public transfer request - which he is unwilling to do.
The same response was given to Juve, though it is Chelsea which has so far be the most aggressive of the two parties.
