Jürgen Klopp insists Daniel Sturridge will not be allowed to leave Liverpool during the January transfer window, even if the player wants to go.
It has been suggested that the 28-year-old Liverpool striker wants to leave Anfield in the New Year in the hope of improving his chances of making England’s World Cup squad. Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate recently went on record to say that Sturridge’s lack of game time was a problem in terms of him being considered for international duty. However, Klopp believes ‘club’ is more important than ‘player’ and ‘country’.

The Liverpool manager said: “The situation with the player is completely okay. I can imagine a player with his quality is not happy that he is not starting all the time. I really can imagine that. But that’s all.
“At this moment we need all our players. We have November, even if he feels a little different.
“There is around one-and-a-half months to go before the window opens and I don’t think for a second about things like this.
“There are so many games before then and I need all of them.”
