Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers gave up his free Sunday to join striker Daniel Sturridge, 25, in a training session to test his fitness ahead of this week’s Champions League match in Basel, the Daily Mail reports.
Sturridge, who has missed Liverpool’s last five matches after picking up a thigh injury on international duty with England, was put through his paces at the club’s Melwood training ground – with Rodgers also taking part in the same routine under the watchful eye of two of the club’s coaching staff.
