Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge may return against Norwich

ANDY HUNTER Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Daniel Sturridge and Jordan Henderson are in contention to face Norwich City on Sunday and that he expects Liverpool to recapture "an exciting dynamic" with the England striker back in the side.

Sturridge has not played for Liverpool since April 8th due to a hip problem that required surgery in the United States. The 26-year-old made only 18 appearances for Rodgers's team last season as a consequence of thigh, calf and hip problems but, having resumed full training over a week ago, is available for the visit of Alex Neil's team to Anfield.

Liverpool have scored only four goals in six matches in all competitions this term and their manager believes that shortcoming will be addressed once Sturridge improves his options alongside Christian Benteke and Philippe Coutinho.

Rodgers, who is likely to include Sturridge on the substitutes’ bench, said: “Daniel has been training with team for a while, so we’ll see how he is in relation to this game. On his game Daniel is one of the best there is. There aren’t too many who can compare when he’s at his level.”

The Liverpool captain Henderson will have a late fitness test on a persistent heel problem having also visited the US this week for a procedure, while Joe Allen has recovered from a hamstring injury. Guardian service
