Sturridge injury headache

LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp is hoping Daniel Sturridge’s thigh injury does not turn out to be serious.

The striker, a substitute in last night’s Audi Cup match against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, picked up the injury as he scored the final goal in the 3-0 victory.

Asked how bad the injury was, Klopp said: “I can’t say yet. He hurt his thigh.

“He has prepared well, really well, so I hope this is just a small injury and that he can play again soon.

“The goal was great and he had a chance just before that. You could see how fast he is.

“It’s a shame and I hope it’s nothing serious.”

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah found the target for Liverpool in the first half of a win which earned a match against Atletico Madrid tonight.

The Reds start their Premier League campaign at Watford on August 12.

FORMER Manchester City winger Jesus Navas has returned to Sevilla, the La Liga club have announced.

The 31-year-old Spaniard has signed a four-year deal after being released by City.

Sevilla announced the move after posting a video on YouTube of a man appearing to be ‘kidnapped’ by masked men, bundled into the boot of a car and then driven to the club’s ground, where Navas removed a hood and smiled at the surroundings.

A statement from the club read: “Sevilla FC have reached an agreement with Jesus Navas, with the player signing a deal keeping him at the club for the next four seasons.”

Navas joined City from Sevilla in 2013 and went on to make 183 appearances and helped the club to one Premier League title and two League Cups.

He joined Sevilla as a 15-year-old and progressed to the first team, winning two Uefa Cups and two Copa del Reys.

James Keatings could make a quick comeback.
