Daniel Sturridge unavailable for Merseyside derby

Daniel Sturridge is not available to feature in Saturday's Merseyside derby.

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.”
