Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that injury-prone striker Daniel Sturridge is set to make a return to full fitness within 10 days.

Sturridge suffered another injury blow recently after sustaining a hamstring problem in the wake of Sunday's loss at Newcastle United and there were fears that the striker could potentially miss another two to three weeks of action as a result.

Much to the relief of the frustrated Liverpool supporters, Klopp has gone on to reveal that Sturridge could be back in action sooner than later.

Klopp revealed: "Now we have 10 days, I would say, until we think about if he should play. That would be the Watford game maybe. If he can run in eight days and be ready for physical training.

"Eight days might be the longest time he has trained for in the last year. Then maybe he is ready to play 20/25 minutes. That's how it is in a usual situation for other players like this.

"After Watford, we then have a normal week (before Leicester at home on Boxing Day). Then we have another six days where he could maybe train if the world is perfect!

"Of course, in this moment, he cannot play three games in a week. Nobody should do this too often. If you have a normal pre-season, if you have a normal period of time training, then you are ready for this."
