Daniel Sturridge has been sent home from Liverpool's mid-season training camp in Spain after being struck down by a virus.
The Reds striker flew to La Manga, south-east of Spain, on Wednesday despite feeling unwell and his condition did not improve in the following days.
He was forced to sit out Liverpool's first full day of warm weather and remained at the team hotel on Thursday after medical staff decided it was best he didn't train.
Jurgen Klopp's men have travelled to Spain with no FA Cup action or European football to occupy them ahead of their next Premier League clash against Leicester on Monday February 27.
