Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he won't rush Daniel
Sturridge back after revealing the striker is making good
progress as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
The England international has not featured for the club since
the defeat at Newcastle at the start of December and has
seen his rehabilitation interrupted by several setbacks.
The Reds want Sturridge to build up his strength and
resistance by putting him through a mini pre-season, which
has seen the forward finally come through a string of
uninterrupted sessions this week.
Klopp said: “The last four days were really good and he
could do what he had to do. In this moment he is in a good
way, but still needs time. I can’t change it.
“So there’s nothing really new in this situation – it is
training. But, to be honest, the last four days were good and
hopefully he can do it like this for the next four or five days
and then it will have been 10 days, which is better than only
two.
“Then we have to see where he is and how the situation is,
and we can hopefully decide if it’s time for him.”
Meanwhile, Adam Lallana is a doubt for Liverpool's Premier
League clash at Norwich City on Saturday, after picking up
a minor muscle injury.
“Adam Lallana is a little bit in doubt. He’s here and trained
yesterday, but not normal training. He had a little issue but
we have to see, we have to wait until training today to see.
“It was a little bit of a muscle [problem] only in the
Manchester United game. Afterwards he needed a little bit
longer to recover and now we have to see if we have enough
time to bring him back.
“I think that’s the only new one. From the others, no players
are back.”
