Liverpool and England striker Daniel Sturridge was close to his return but has suffered a new injury setback in training. The 25-year-old forward suffered a thigh injury on Tuesday and is expected to have a scan to determine the exact extent of the damage.,
Sturridge scored an impressive 25 goals last season, but in this campaign he has played just three Premier League games. He only returned to full training last week. He had suffered a thigh strain during the international break in September and then a calf strain in training in October.
Liverpool have won only four times in 14 matches without the former Chelsea and Manchester City striker and the Reds are currently 11th in the Premier League table. Liverpool have scored just 14 league goals this season with strikers Mario Balotelli, Fabio Borini and Rickie Lambert failing to deliver the much-needed goals in Sturridge's absence. Balotelli could also be out for a while after he picked up a hamstring injury on international duty with Italy.
Liverpool are 2/1 at Bet365 to clinch a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.

Daniel sturridge is great player and I think that he can help Liverpool a lot. I think that this year Liverpool is better in defense than offense and that is their problem. They sold Suareaz, and Lambert is just not that good to replace him and not to talk about Balotelli. So when Daniel get back in the squad I predict...

Really bad start for Liverpool, they have lot of problems in the fron. Balotelli is not good enough, Lambert also, and they need Sturridge. One quality attacker in Januray is must have for Liverpool, and I believe that they will be oriented on that in next transfer window

Liverpool will never be more closer to winning a championship as they were last year. 1st of all, Gerrard is getting worse each year, Suarez was 'half of the team' and this year all the injures. And some of their new singins are not working out, like Markovic for example. As a Chelsea fan I'm not happy cause of this.

I am with you timidi, Liverpool is not as half as good as last year. First, Suarez left to Barcelona, who was the best player in Liverpool last year. Second, Sturridge injury is very big problem for them, because without him, they can't score. Baloteli is not as good player as everybody think and he is showing very bad...

He didn't have not even a one good move for now.

I think that liverpool is not the same team like he was last year only becouse Sturridge and Suarez. For me that is the main reason why they are not so productive this year. I think when Daniel come back that liverpool will play better and better but that must be soon becouse if Sturridge doesn't come back until new year...
