This is not a drill.
Daniel Sturridge is back. Again.
Mr Glass The Liverpool striker will start on the bench at Anfield on Saturday afternoon for the visit of Sunderland and he won’t even be wearing his suit.
Although Jurgen Klopp will miss the clash through illness, the Reds manager did put the record straight in his pre-match press conference when he put a journalist in his place over the Daniel Sturridge rumours.

Liverpool start without a recognised striker once more, with Roberto Firmino apparently heading up the team but they do have Christian Benteke and Daniel Sturridge in reserve if needed.
And, let’s face it, if fit.
