Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp isn't ready to write off Daniel Sturridge.
The Mirror says the Kop boss is ready to not only back Sturridge , but defend him publicly as he looks to the forward to fire his team into the Europa League final.
Reds supporters were angry when the England international walked straight up the tunnel following defeat at Swansea on Sunday , having admitted beforehand he couldn't say he's “Liverpool until I die".
But Klopp said any blame should be directed his way, and will give Sturridge the start he is desperate for in the semi-final showdown with Villarreal on Thursday.
