Perth Glory coach Garcia: Sturridge keeps breaking down

Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge continues to struggle at Perth Glory in Australia.

Sturridge joined in October after more than a year out of football but has made just five appearances.

The 32-year-old has missed a total of 144 games through injury in his career and has suffered a variety of injuries.

One of his five appearances, all of which came from the bench, came during the week when he featured in Perth Glory's 1-0 defeat to Macarthur.

However he pulled up with a groin injury shortly after missing a chance to score his first goal for the club.

"I keep trying to bring him back and he keeps breaking down," coach Richard Garcia said.

"We've got to get to grips with it and find out where he's at. He keeps getting to certain stages ... we'll have to wait and see how this one turns up. Hopefully it's nothing."
