At this moment we are in November and need all our players — even if he feels a little different. "There is around one-and-a-half months before the window opens and I don't think about things like this. There are so many games before then and I need all of them." Sturridge made 26 starts and scored 21 league goals in 2013-14, but has since netted 17 league goals in 29 starts in three-plus seasons while often struggling with injuries.This season, the forward has been unable to unseat Jurgen Klopp's first-choice forward trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. And England manager Southgate dropped the 28-year-old from the Three Lions squad that faced Germany and Brazil earlier this month, saying: "He's not playing regularly. I think it's very difficult. I don't remember the last time Daniel had 90 minutes."</blockquote>
