Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is wary of asking too much too soon from Daniel Sturridge.
The striker made a goalscoring return in victory over West Ham United yesterday.
"It was nice for him. He has been out for a long time and worked very hard," Rodgers said.
"When he is in that area of the pitch he has shown he is lethal and it was a great first touch and then he has great power off both sides and it was a wonderful finish. I am delighted for him.
"He has come back into the fold but it is just managing that integration into the team but I know he is excited about coming back.
"But it was better him scoring than not scoring because if he doesn't everyone is looking at him wondering when he will get his first goal."
