Divock Origi

Good news for him at least. Maybe an outside chance to feature in the final.

Meh, only interested if he is back for May 18th which he won't be

Glad he makes the EURO's he should lead the line for Belgium. More playing time and experience in the bank. Also, is it 3-4 weeks from the date he got injured? Or from now? If it's the former he should make it, if it's the latter he could still have chance.

Thank God its not serious. Its all about next season now, and I don't want anyone (talented) not able to start the first game in August with a full pre-season behind them.

Him going to the Euros is probably ok as he's not exactly had a full tiring season this season what with all his injuries.

Liverpool boost as Divock Origi doesn't require ankle surgery

From a purely selfish point of view I would have preferred Origi to have missed the European Championship's and have a full pre-season to strengthen his ankle and return to competitive football gradually. As it stands, he has the opportunity to rush back when he may not be fully fit and you only have to think of Torres and Euro2008.

Saying that, if he feels ready and he's got the all clear from our doctors then it's a great reward for him working so hard this season.

Origi talking up his chances of being back before end of season.

Found this on page 5. Good goal. Expecting 15 PL goals from this this year

Starter over Sturridge for me, even was last season.

You're probably right but not sure, let's see how Sturridge looks after this run of fitness and pre season.

We haven't seen the real DS for over two years.

A fit and firing Sturridge is one of the best out there, it's great though we've got someone else that could push him for a starting slot. So many seasons having to rely on one decent striker staying fit with no other real options it makes a pleasant change !

[BG1973]

Yes mate, and it could be what Sturridge needs to push through any of his 'injury paranoia' it there is any..

[Charly]

Yeah...premature to talk him up as first choice... Remember Sturridges stats place him above every striker who ever played for the club (still... I believe) and thats a ****ing amazing list of names. If he has lost something then we have an amazing backup either way

Not really when Klopp made him his first choice striker last year, before he got injured. Maybe our new signings will complement Sturridge and help him claim his place back, but based on Klopp's preferences so far, my money would still be on Origi starting against Arsenal at this current time.

Well said bud, barring injury's he's a natural finisher
