Brendan Rodgers has revealed Raheem Sterling could be facing a spell on the sidelines due to a thigh complaint.

The boss confirmed at his pre-West Ham press conference the winger had been suffering with a niggle and will undergo further assessment to determine whether he requires a stint on the treatment table at Melwood.

Sterling is Liverpool's only injury concern - apart from long-term absentees Joe Allen, Martin Kelly and Fabio Borini - ahead of the Hammers' visit to Anfield this summer.

Rodgers told reporters: "Young Raheem Sterling is probably our only question mark.

"He's had an ongoing issue with his thigh, so we're just assessing that and whether he needs to come out for a few weeks to protect that.

"Apart from that, everyone is fine."
