Lovren struggling to shake off illness but Sturridge 'determined to help Liverpool have success'

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is a doubt with illness for the Europa League visit of Augsburg.

The Croatian trained earlier this week but then fell sick and it remains to be seen how he recovers.

Fellow centre-back Martin Skrtel and midfielder Joe Allen (both hamstring) are not yet ready to return while forward Adam Lallana is still making his way back from a calf problem.

Daniel Sturridge attended today's press conference with manager Jugen Klopp and the oft-injured striker said he is now focused on his future at Anfield.
