Jurgen Klopp has boosted Liverpool fans by announcing that striker Daniel Sturridge will not need surgery on his latest injury.

Sturridge has yet to feature since Klopp took over for Liverpool, and suffered another setback after picking up an injury at training this week.

However Klopp has revealed the injury is "not serious".

Klopp said: "As it often is in football, I don't know exactly. I'm not really sure that I saw the one-on-one with Jordon Ibe when they came together in training. It's something like a knock on the knee, and now there's a little bit of fluid inside. He can go, he can walk, he can swim but that's not enough for playing football."

"There's fluid in the knee, not too much, that's why we can say it's not serious. We don't have to think about surgeries or things like this, no, no, no, but he needs time. We play every three days."

Klopp also mentioned that he will have to become familiar with Sturridge's injury problems and understand how to avoid any future problems for the England man.

Klopp added: "I know about his history with injuries of course but I have no experience with these things with him especially. That's another thing I have to learn but for sure if he is back, he has to train, and if he can train then he can play – before this we don't have to talk about this."
