Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says things have been too easy for Daniel Sturridge in his career.

Klopp admits he now needs to overcome a unique moment in his career.

“I think in this moment of course it is not easy for Dan. Most of the time in his life, football has been easy for him because he is so skilled. And he is still so skilled.

“Everybody needs confidence, the right moments, an easy goal, whatever. But the job to do for all of us is clear.

“He cannot think about a moment like this where he has not scored in five or six games. I don't care, it's normal.

“I can't just work with players who are 100% in form, 100% in shape, everything. If I was to do that then I would be alone here! Every player struggles with this or that, little problem here or there.

“Daniel Sturridge is an outstanding player, there is no doubt about that."
