Liverpool's Sturridge finding it 'mentally tough' being on sidelines

Daniel Sturridge cannot wait to get back on the pitch for Liverpool after spending the past month on the sidelines.

The 25-year old striker has missed seven matches for the Reds after sustaining a thigh injury while on international duty with England in early September.

Sturridge has a brilliant scoring record since arriving at Anfield with 36 goals in 52 appearances in all competitions and he is eager to get back to contributing to the cause after a mentally tough time out of the game.

He posted the following on his Instagram account:

Can't wait for these moments again... Winning games and scoring goals is the motto.. Don't think people realise how hard it is mentally being injured. I've had a lot of time to reflect. Can't wait to be back!! Best feeling is to be playing football and I take it for granted when your fit.
