DANIEL STURRIDGE'S time at Liverpool is up, according to former Rangers striker Kris Boyd.
The England international is currently sidelined with a calf problem and Jurgen Klopp has been unable to put a timescale on when the 27-year-old will be ready to come back.
His absence has given Divock Origi the opportunity to make a name for himself at Anfield, and he's grabbed it with booth hands after scoring five goals in as many games.
The emergence of Origi has left Kilmarnock forward Boyd with no doubt that Sturridge's Merseyside spell is over.
He told Sky Sports News: "I don't think there's any question about how good Daniel Sturridge is as a player.
"But I think his time is up at Liverpool and he'll have to move on to find regular football.

"There's no doubt he's a talented footballer, but when somebody is coming in and scoring goals like Origi has, every time he has come in he has not let Liverpool down, it's difficult.
"Does Klopp really fancy Sturridge? Even when he's fit, he's not played a lot of football."
Danny Mills, who also featured on the programme, added: "Jurgen Klopp has questioned his attitude at times.

"He's questioned his hunger and desire to really want to play at times, is he really injured?
"You don't get moved on from Manchester City, then get moved on from Chelsea and then maybe get moved on from Liverpool unless there's something not quite right."
