Hopefully Lallana and Sturridge get plenty of minutes in preseason , both need to return to top form.
One of the side effects of Klopp and our new transfer policy is that the squad quality has risen massively, an average Lallana and Sturridge really mean a massive drop in quality.
Sturridge as back up for Firmino is a real worry for me, he's shown nothing to suggest he can stay fit enough to return to 2013/14 level. His goals in the prem since 13/14 are 4, 8,3,2. Let's be honest he's dinning on a season four years ago, a fantastic season in body nothing like the one he now possesses.
I really hope both are over their injuries and can be the players we need, but let's be honest if one or both get injured in preseason no one will be supprised..
Once you get into a long term cycle of injuries (especiall as you get towards your 30's) its very hard to ever get fully fit.
