Daniel Sturridge is back, but he won’t be starting matches immediately…
To the delights of Liverpool fans everywhere, Sturridge made a long-awaited goalscoring return on Saturday afternoon. We’ve missed him terribly since he last played in August, but Rodgers reckons it’ll be a fortnight or so until he’s leading the line from the offset of matches.
“He’s still a bit of time off starting. You saw in the period when he came on, he was still getting used to the surroundings again in the 25 minutes or so he had on the pitch, so it’s just about bedding him back in,” he told the official website.
“But to know that he’s there over the next two to three weeks, when it will be about regaining his football fitness and until he’s ready to start, he’s going to be a great asset for us off the bench.”
