Liverpool have been hit with bad news, after Daniel Sturridge suffered a thigh strain as he prepared to make a comeback this weekend.
It is the same injury that has kept him out for most of the campaign and Reds manager Brendan Rodgers will be waiting for news on his scan on Wednesday.
This is the second time Sturridge is breaking down as he seeks to return to football. Liverpool were without their key man for up to 10 weeks, after he went on international duty with England in September. After six weeks, the former Chelsea striker picked up a calf problem.
Sturridge was expected to play against Crystal Palace on Sunday, but Rodgers will be forced to change his plans now.
