Jurgen Klopp offers reassurance for sulking Daniel Sturridge

Tottenham 1 Liverpool 1: In this day and age, there is little a Premier League footballer can get away with during a televised game, whether he is on the pitch or not.

That is why a picture of a disgruntled Daniel Sturridge, who was dropped to the bench for Saturday’s trip to Tottenham, spread like wildfire on social media early on Saturday afternoon.

With Liverpool leading Spurs 1-0 as the game approached its final 20 minutes, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp turned to Divock Origi instead of the England striker, who might have expected to start the game anyway.
