The striker was back on the Melwood pitches this week as he continues his recovery from a hip issue, but has yet to re-join the full Liverpool squad in training.
Therefore, Sturridge will play no part in the Anfield clash with Everton, confirmed Jürgen Klopp at his pre-match press conference.
“No chance,” said the manager when asked if the No.15 could be involved.
“I heard he’s back to training, I don’t know who gave this information. When a player is on the pitch with a rehab coach, that’s not back to training.
“That’s the situation in this moment. He’s in a good way, but [has] no chance for the weekend.”
