adminLIVERPOOL. — Daniel Sturridge is set to make his Liverpool return today after five months out and for manager Brendan Rodgers there is hope for what he can bring and lingering disappointment over what might have been.
When Sturridge was ruled out with a thigh injury on international duty in early September, Liverpool’s goals dried up.
Left without the services of their top two scorers from the previous season, with Luis Suarez sold to Barcelona last July, Liverpool’s season effectively imploded. A recent resurgence has been built around a change of system with Raheem Sterling drafted in to a makeshift striker’s role, but he has effectively been keeping the position warm until Sturridge could make his comeback. That looks likely to happen against West Ham United at Anfield today. While Rodgers remains cautious about rushing the England forward back into action, he is certain their season would have panned out differently had Sturridge stayed fit. — Reuters.
