Daniel Sturridge is expected to miss out Liverpool's game against Crystal Palace, after the striker suffered a recurrence of his hip injury.

The ECHO understands the problem is not thought to be at the serious end of the scale, but it is a return to the complaint which saw him miss playing time in February and March.

The striker was initially a doubt for today's game after missing a couple of training sessions earlier in the week.

With just four games left after this afternoon's fixture - and a summer transfer looking increasingly likely - it remains to be seen how much football the England international will play for the Reds again.

The 27-year-old has since returned to make two substitute appearances, away at Stoke and West Brom, but he will likely not be present for the visit of the Eagles.

The hip problem was the latest of several niggles which hit Sturridge this year and he has not started a Liverpool game since the League Cup semi-final against Southampton at Anfield in late January.

Jurgen Klopp is already sweating on the fitness of Joel Matip, Ragnar Klavan and Lucas Leiva while Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana remain sidelined.

Sadio Mane, meanwhile, will not be back until next season.

Matip and Lucas both took part in training yesterday but worked with the rehab coach, while Klavan also trained outside.
