Daniel Sturridge ruled out of trip to Stoke

Daniel Sturridge has been ruled out of Liverpool’s League Cup semi final tie against Stoke City tomorrow night.

Reds’ boss Jürgen Klopp has confirmed that the 26-year-old will not be involved due to his ongoing injury problems.

“When he’s had a row of sessions, I will pick him. He’s not available,” said Klopp, who was speaking at this afternoon’s pre-match press conference.

Commenting on Jordan Henderson’s injury status, Klopp added: “We have to wait. What’s happened with the tendon is painful.

“There is blood around the heel. We can’t rush it.”
