Daniel Sturridge sat out training on the opening day of Liverpool’s warm weather training camp in Spain.

The England striker, who was an unused substitute in the win over Tottenham last weekend, missed both the morning and afternoon sessions due to a virus.

Sturridge was assessed by the Reds’ medical staff, who decided it would be best if he stayed at the team hotel. They hope he will be well enough to train later in the trip.

All the other members of Jurgen Klopp’s 27-man squad were involved at La Manga’s football complex.

After various fitness and passing drills in the morning, the players were divided into four teams for small sided matches in the afternoon.

Sheyi Ojo limped off at one stage but the young Liverpool winger was later moving freely and cycled back to the team hotel with his team-mates.

Between the two sessions, Klopp and his backroom staff played paddle tennis. The Liverpool manager had a court built at Melwood last year.
