4. Daniel Sturridge’s fitness:-
Liverpool’s season last year was going to be tough due to the departure of Luis Suarez, but Sturridge’s injury made it even tougher for Liverpool. Sturridge last season was ruined by injuries like thigh muscle strain, hamstring injury and hip injury. The first two injuries were fixed by Liverpool, but he got injured again soon. Liverpool understood that they needed to find a long-term solution for Sturridge’s injury problems and that is the reason why Liverpool send for surgery to America. Now his surgery is done and he has undergone some rehabilitation in America itself and now he is back in England to continue his recovery process.
People at Liverpool believe that they have found a long-term solution for Sturridge’s injury problems. They will want Sturridge to remain fit throughout the season or at least be free from big injuries. Liverpool hope that they can get Sturridge fit for the game against Manchester United after the International break (they will at least want him on the bench). If Sturridge remains free from big injuries this season more goals are going to come in Liverpool’s favour. He can also form a partnership with Benteke. Liverpool lacked a consistent striker last season which added to their problems. Now they will have two good strikers upfront.
