Jurgen Klopp may well give Daniel Sturridge a rare start this weekend.

The Liverpool boss will be scratching his head and thinking of his options amid an injury crisis.

The international break seems to have taken its toll on his Liverpool players, with many reporting niggles and concerns.

Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, Naby Keita and Virgil Van Dijk all suffered injuries during the break.

And with James Milner also out, Liverpool are considering their options ahead of this weekend’s game against Huddersfield Town.

Luckily for Klopp, he has an in-form striker waiting in the wings. Sturridge will be desperate to take any chance he can get.

All six of Sturridge’s league games for Liverpool this season have come from the bench. But he has still scored two goals and impressed in both European and domestic cup competitions.

Last season, he started just seven Premier League matches combined for Liverpool and on loan at West Brom.

This is due to his constant injury woes which have held back his career.

But the 29-year-old will be eager to prove he can stay fit and be the perfect man to lead the line for Liverpool.

Klopp will definitely consider giving Sturridge a starting spot at the weekend, especially if Salah and Mane are out.

We could see Sturridge line up in a front three with Roberto Firmino and Xherdan Shaqiri.
