Liverpool legend Ian Rush feels that Daniel Sturridge needs to continue working hard and keep his head down to work his way back into manager Jurgen Klopp’s first team plans.

The former Reds striker, speaking exclusively to 888Sport, said he doesn’t feel it would be right for Sturridge to get upset about the lack of first team starts, and that he could play a crucial role in the Reds’ title challenge:

“We’re going to need Daniel Sturridge. He’s got to be patient and his time will come. He’s the best finisher at the club and he’s absolutely superb but he needs to get his head down and get on with it. Sulking doesn’t help anyone.”

“He will get a chance and he’s got to take them when they come. He has to create a problem for the manager and if you’re in a sulk you’re just making it easy for the manager. In my opinion he should stay because he’s got a big part to play at Liverpool. It would be harder for Liverpool to win the league if Daniel Sturridge left the club.”

Speculation has linked Sturridge with moves to West Ham, Stoke City and AC Milan in the January transfer window after failing to make the first team eleven once again against Southampton at St Mary’s last week. The 27 year old has not scored in the Premier League this season after only starting four times for the Reds.
