INTERIM CHELSEA BOSS Rafael Benitez is unsure whether Daniel Sturridge will still be at the club at the end of January.
The England international is reportedly close to a move to Liverpool, whose manager Brendan Rodgers is keen on finding attackers who can play in positions across the front line.
Asked if Sturridge was set for a move, Benitez insisted he did not know anything about a potential transfer, but says the market is unpredictable.
Benitez told the Fulham and Hammersmith Chronicle: “We will see. You never know in the market.
“I don’t know what (the press) said because I didn’t read the press.”
The Spaniard says it has been difficult to get a gauge on the 23-year-old due to his injury problems this season.

“To be fair, I only saw him three times last week, so he couldn’t train too much in this time with him.”
