Jurgen Klopp calls on striker Daniel Sturridge to focus on Liverpool duties as he insists 'we need all our players'

Jurgen Klopp has urged Daniel Sturridge to put his personal frustrations aside and focus on helping Liverpool hit their pre-Christmas targets.

The striker was the subject of a report on Monday that claimed he was looking to leave Anfield in January to save his World Cup place, having been left out of the England squad for the games with Germany and Brazil.

Sturridge has been only a sporadic starter for Liverpool this season and Klopp is expected to use his preferred attacking trident in Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino on Tuesday night as he looks to secure a place in the Champions League knockout phase with a game to spare.
