"You always want to give him a kick but you have to be careful not to be red-carded. For example, on Sept 2 against Liverpool, it was the case with Luis Suárez.
"He is a player who likes to dive as soon as there is contact. During a challenge we jostled a bit with each other and he fell. He started to talk to me in English, to say it was a penalty."
Liverpool have constantly defended Suárez, despite a string of high-profile incidents, and team-mates Steven Gerrard and Glen Johnson both claimed last month that referees were refusing to award penalties because of his reputation.
Suárez is due to face Bolivia on Tuesday in a World Cup 2014 qualifier and will not return to England until later this week.
The Uruguayan Football Association is believed to have contacted Fifa to demand an apology after Boyce's comments, though Suárez said his conscience was clean.
