Boost for Liverpool as Daniel Sturridge back in training

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge’s recovery programme has been stepped up with the England international set to complete a full week of training.

The 25-year-old returned to Merseyside after spending most of the last four months in the United States, where he underwent an operation in April.

Sturridge began training again at the club’s Melwood base on Monday but he is currently working to an individual plan.
