Liverpool midfielder Raheem Sterling admits they're struggling without Daniel Sturridge.
Defeats against Aston Villa and West Ham have seen the club slip down to 11th in the league and Sterling, who scored in their 3-1 loss at Upton Park on Saturday, says the return of the 25-year-old can't come soon enough.
"Daniel is a massive miss for us with his goals and the way he plays in behind defenders," Sterling told Liverpool's official club website.
"Him coming back should add another dimension to the team. It will definitely be a test of character but I think there is a lot of character in this group."
