Brendan Rodgers: Sturridge can’t bring instant success

Rodgers has told fans that Sturridge cannot bring instant success when he returns from injury, reports the Times.

The forward is expected to return to full training this week, but the boss has said people can’t expect too much from him.

“I have said that can’t be the case. It is about the team. There is a collective responsibility. He is a top-end player and hopefully he will get out on the field and show that.”
