Jurgen Klopp says Daniel Sturridge can
overcome his current troubles to
rediscover his best form, providing he
stays fit.
Sturridge, who has been plagued by
injuries in the past, has endured a
difficult season so far, starting just five
Premier League matches.
Rush salutes Sturridge's mentality
The England striker was given a
chance to shine on Wednesday in the
EFL Cup - a competition in which he
has scored four goals - but he failed to
prevent Liverpool crashing out to
Southampton in a 2-0 aggregate semi-
final defeat.
That performance prompted former
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher to
claim the Reds are "basically down to
10 men" when Sturridge plays and
fails to score.
Liverpool fans are longing to see the
re-emergence of the Sturridge of old,
when the 27-year-old combined so
lethally with the since departed Luis
Suarez.
"I don't know exactly about the level
of 2013-14 because I wasn't here, but
that's not too important," Klopp said.
"I thought after Southampton it was a
good game for Daniel. He was
involved from the first second until
the last.

"Usually, and it's not about speed,
Daniel scores twice. But he is a
human being and he missed the
chances.
"Of course longer injuries can have an
impact. Ask a sprinter. If you get a
few injuries maybe it takes time, but
it's not lost forever.
"Daniel is the best age for a football
player. If he can stay fit everything
will be fine."

One player who will have to prove his
worth away from Anfield is Lazar
Markovic, who has been sent to Hull
City on loan.
But Klopp, who says he is unlikely to
make any additions to his squad
before Tuesday's transfer deadline,
insists the Serbia international has a
future on Merseyside.
Klopp responds to Mourinho wind
jibe
"He still has a contract. Why should I
say no chance? He's still a young boy.
He has struggled with injuries," added
Klopp.
"If he plays against the other teams
very well then he has a chance."
