Jurgen Klopp unsure when Daniel Sturridge will return for Liverpool

Since he moved to Merseyside three years ago Sturridge has been unavailable for 54.8 per cent of his time at the club.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he has not given any thought to Daniel Sturridge’s long-term future even though he does not know when the England forward might return to fitness.

Sturridge has managed just 106 minutes over three matches since Klopp succeeded Brendan Rodgers at Anfield and is not in contention for Saturday’s FA Cup fourth-round visit of West Ham or Tuesday’s trip to Premier League leaders Leicester after more interruptions to his training schedule.
