DANIEL STURRIDGE's bid to launch his latest comeback for Liverpool has been aborted after Jurgen Klopp flexed his authority.

| Jurgen Klopp has urged Daniel Sturridge to be patient in his latest comeback from injury |
Klopp told the forward he must instead continue with an intensive training regime in an attempt to overcome persistent injury problems because the club "had tried everything else" to keep him fit.
Sturridge has been out with a hamstring injury but tweeted he was "good to go" after watching the 1-0 win over league leaders Leicester.
However Klopp, for whom Sturridge has played just 106 minutes, said: "This is absolutely the same thing that Daniel said four weeks ago, and we let him play and he was injured again.
"You ask him and he says he's good. I know he is good, but he has to train. We cannot change the situation, he has to train now.
"Last week and this week are most intensive weeks in training for Daniel Sturridge in the last three years. So now you can see what we have to do. We cannot say, 'Come on Daniel, now you look good so you can play'.
"I don't want to see him in training because everybody sees him training and they think, 'Oh, come on, bring him into the team, we need his quality'.
Perfect gift for Christmas from the boys getting a win. On a sidenote I'm back training and good to go!! #Lfc #redordead

"No. We really, really have to be patient now. We have to wait. We have to train. We have to give the body the right information, and if he can do this, then maybe we can change something.
"Otherwise we always have to stay here in this situation for the next 10 years and always talk about, 'Where is Daniel Sturridge, can you play him?'
"We have to try and change something. We have tried everything else, so we must try this now."
