Liverpool have officially suspended goalkeeper Charles Itandje for 14 days for his behavior during the Hillsborough service at Anfield this week.
Manager Rafa Benitez has instructed Itandje to stay away from the training ground while a internal inquiry is conducted.
During the Hillsborough service for the 96 Liverpool fans that tragically died in the 1989 FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest, Itanje was caught on television camera's laughing and joking during the service.
Today Charles Itandje has issued a formal apology to all the families and everyone involved with the Club, Itandje will meet with the Families and offer a personal apology.
"First of all, if my behavior has caused offence to anyone then I can only apologise," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. A thousand times, I am sorry.
"To the club, to the fans and especially to the families, I am deeply sorry.
"It was, of course, never my intention to offend or disrespect anyone.
"The events at Hillsborough were a tragedy and in no way did I mean to disrespect the memory of what happened 20 years ago. I would never do that. I would like to speak to the families in person to offer my apologies to them because, like I said, I never meant to hurt anyone."
