John Barnes has urged Daniel Sturridge to stay at Liverpool, insisting it's just a matter of time before he wins back his place.

Sturridge is reportedly ready to quit the Merseyside club in January having grown frustrated with life under Jurgen Klopp.

After an injury-hit couple of years, the 27-year-old returned to full fitness this term but has found first team opportunities hard to come by.

Roberto Firmino is currently Jurgen Klopp’s first choice frontman and that looks unlikely to change in the near future with the Brazilian - and Liverpool - in such good form.
