Daniel Sturridge is fully fit, but for the second game running, he’s been left completely out of the match-day squad.

The Guardian confirm that Inter have made a loan offer, and this news today suggests something is imminent, with the transfer window closing on Wednesday.

But Jurgen Klopp is not someone who brings in players for the sake of it, and would prefer to stick with what he’s got and give chances to Solanke and Ings than gamble on a second or third choice option.
Time will tell if we live to pay the price.
