Why play him if he isn't needed (Europa)? If he's back next league game, and scores, won't we all be happy? Owen and Fowler were always injured but are held in high esteem, still. I'd say Sturridge has been up there with the best we've had in the last twenty years. I doubt he wants to miss games. He'll be back as soon as he's deemed fit. Selling him would be a waste - we'd get no fee and he's our best player.
