Jurgen Klopp insists there will be no decision on Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge’s future until the end of the season.

The England international has found his opportunities limited this term and appears likely to move on in the summer.

However, Klopp is refusing to look that far ahead. The manager says his only concern is getting Sturridge fully fit following the virus which forced him to miss Monday night’s miserable 3-1 defeat to Leicester City.

The 27-year-old frontman could return to the Liverpool squad for Saturday’s Premier League showdown with Arsenal.

Asked if it was inevitable that Sturridge would leave the club, Klopp said: “I have no idea what happens in the summer. It is not only Daniel but a lot of players.

“Daniel was not in training for eight or nine days because of a virus infection.

“We have to bring him back to the best shape possible and then bring this season to an end as successfully as possible.

“Then we will make decisions and speak about Daniel and any other players about what will happen at the end of the season.

“A lot of things will influence this and we can speak about it when it is time.”

Injuries have once again hampered Sturridge’s progress this season and when fit he’s been unable to command a regular starting place with Klopp opting to play Roberto Firmino through the middle instead.

The former Chelsea striker scored in the 2-2 draw at Sunderland on January 2 but Sturridge hasn’t started a Premier League game since.
