Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is not exactly short of attacking options in his team, which means that this summer, certain fringe players could be let go.
A few seasons ago, Daniel Sturridge was a prominent member of the first team, but his position in the pecking order has fallen.

The striker, who has earned 26 international caps for England, has been ravaged by injury problems.
On top of that, the 28-year-old does not fit naturally into the system that Klopp has implemented at Anfield.

The forward is more of an out-and-our striker, while the German prefers to play with Roberto Firmino as a false nine.
With that in mind, it leads to questions over Sturridge’s future at the Merseyside outfit.
It seems highly unlikely that the attacker will force his way into the side, particularly after he was sent on loan to West Bromwich Albion for the second half of last season.
However, could Sturridge still have a role to play? Perhaps in cup games when the system could be tweaked to break down teams that cement bodies at the back?
We asked you if the striker should be kept on for next season, and the majority believe that it is the end of the road.
