Rodgers: No worries over Sturridge

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has dismissed any doubts over the attitude of Daniel Sturridge as the striker prepares to make his Anfield debut.

The 23-year-old is at his third big club in less than four years after leaving Manchester City in 2009 to play only 96 matches, almost half as substitute, for Chelsea.

Rumours persisted about Sturridge’s personality and suitability for the Premier League — indeed Rodgers was interested in signing him in August but reportedly wanted to take him on loan first.
