after enduring a number of injury setbacks but is not ready
to be included in Jurgen Klopp’s matchday plans.
The striker has been assigned a mini pre-season schedule
by the manager in an effort to boost his strength and
resistance.
Sturridge has made just six appearances this season but
has still netted four goals in his 349 minutes on the pitch.
Klopp wanted Sturridge to come through a series of
sessions at Melwood unscathed before considering him for
first-team fixtures, but the 26-year-old has not been able to
string together a run of workouts.
“There is absolutely no chance for Daniel,” Klopp said when
discussing Wednesday’s FA Cup third-round replay against
Exeter City.
“He had a break in his training sessions because of some
issues; he is now back on the pitch and again training.
“He has had no team training until now since Newcastle [on
December 6], so that’s not a situation where we can think
about him. We have always to find solutions.”
