Brendan Rodgers to "monitor" Daniel Sturridge's fitness

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he is not 100% certain that striker Daniel Sturridge will be available for Monday night's Premier League clash against West Bromwich Albion.

The 23-year-old was dealt an injury blow to his thigh during the Reds' 2-2 draw with Manchester City last Sunday, which forced him to withdraw from the England squad in midweek.

"Daniel we're just monitoring over the next couple of days," Rodgers told the club's official website. "It's not overly serious but we just need to assess to see where he's at. We'll see by Sunday."

The Northern Irishman also confirmed that winger Raheem Sterling will be available for the match.
