Television cameras appeared to show the 26-year-old Frenchman laughing at the memorial service to remember the 96 people who died at the FA Cup semi-final clash between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

His actions sparked local outrage, with hundreds of Liverpool supporters reportedly complaining about his behaviour on internet message boards.

Itandje was instructed by Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez not to attend training on Friday.

A Liverpool spokesman said in a statement on www.liverpoolfc.tv: "Charles Itandje has now been officially suspended for 14 days by the club while we investigate his conduct during the Hillsborough Memorial Service."

Families of Hillsborough victims welcomed Liverpool FC's decision to suspend the player.

Trevor Hicks, of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, said: "I have not watched the footage and it may well be that his behaviour has been misinterpreted in some way.

"But it is absolutely right and proper that the club should look at what happened and investigate it fully.

"I am sure the club will do the right thing."
