(Reuters) - Juergen Klopp says striker Daniel Sturridge needs to seize his opportunity to reclaim a spot in the Liverpool starting lineup as the club continue their hectic January schedule with a League Cup trip to Southampton on Wednesday.

Sturridge is back to full fitness and expected to feature in the semi-final first leg at St Mary's to plug a gap left by the absence of Senegalese winger Sadio Mane, who is away on national duty at the Africa Cup of Nations.
