Liverpool boss Rodgers says Sturridge will benefit from Suarez return

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says Danny Sturridge will benefit from the return of Luis Suarez.

Rodgers was quizzed by reporters at Melwood as to whether the two will complement each other's styles now that Suarez is available for selection again.

The manager's response was unequivocal as he explained: "I think [Suarez's return] will only improve Daniel.

"It will only make him a better player. Good players want to play with other good players and I think you'll see how they perform together. They can be a real threat.

"It's not something Daniel or anyone else should be worried about. I think the focus is on the team and for the team to do well.

"We've been able to work in game situations in training [with Sturridge and Suarez] and there have been a lot of relationships formed in training. I thought the fluency in the game against Manchester United was good."
