Daniel Sturridge return gives Liverpool more options, says Jurgen Klopp

“It’s a cool thing having Daniel in this shape. We had two options… but we wanted to create more space for Coutinho to play more passes and be more influential,” Klopp told reporters.

“It’s nice that we can bring him into these games. His smartness was fantastic, and hopefully we can go through this week without injuries.”

Sturridge’s hip, calf and ankle injuries have limited him to just 26 appearances this season, with the 27-year-old scoring seven goals.

Liverpool, who are battling to hold on to a place in the top four, host relegated Middlesbrough in their last game of the season on Sunday.
