Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has suffered another injury setback after a foot problem picked up in training ruled him out of a return against Girondins Bordeaux in the Europa League, British media reported on Thursday.
The England international, 26, had just recovered from a knee injury which left him on the sidelines since Oct. 4 and hoped to feature in the game with the French side at Anfield.
"...he trained in the morning, then we went to the hotel, Daniel was with us but then he had to leave for another scan. We have to wait for the results," Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp told BT Sport ahead of Thursday's match.
Sturridge, who complained of discomfort in his foot, has made only three appearances this season.
He scored twice in a 3-2 Premier League home win over Aston Villa on Sept. 26, but has yet to feature under new manager Klopp.
Southampton forward Rodriguez ruled out for two months
Southampton forward Jay Rodriguez will be sidelined for at least two months after undergoing surgery on his foot, manager Ronald Koeman has confirmed.
The 26-year-old had come back into the side at the start of the season after spending more than a year on the sidelines recovering from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
He made 12 appearances this season but has not played since a 2-2 draw with LeicesterCity on Oct. 17.
