Rodgers says Daniel Sturridge will not play for England in Euro 2016 qualifers
There is potential for some animosity between two managers as the Reds boss tells Three Lions head coach Roy Hodgson that Sturridge will not play in the upcoming fixtures with San Marino and Estonia.
The striker has been sidelined with a thigh problem since the last international break and even if the 25-year-old plays against West Bromwich Albion this weekend, he will not compete for his national team.
“He won’t be fit to play for England whether he’s available for the weekend or not,” the Northern Irishman was quoted by ITV.
