Daniel Sturridge believes he’s close to regaining full fitness as the Liverpool FC striker looks to put his injury nightmare behind him.

The England international is expected to return to Melwood over the coming week and remains on course to make his comeback after next month’s international break.

Sturridge, who underwent surgery on his hip in New York back in May, is in the final stages of his rehabilitation programme.

And he has shown Kopites what they have been missing after posting a video of himself training on his YouTube page.

Entitled ‘Feeling like I’m back’, Sturridge showcases his close control before curling an unstoppable left-footer into the top corner from the edge of the box.

It was filmed at Ohiri Field on the campus of Harvard University in the Allston neighborhood of Boston.

Sturridge had spent most of the past four months in Massachusetts where he has benefited from the expertise of Boston Red Sox’s sports science and medical staff.

The 25-year-old frontman, who was restricted to just 12 starts in all competitions last season, is eyeing Liverpool’s trip to Manchester United on September 12 as a potential comeback date.

Sturridge will be looking to get back to the heights he hit when he plundered 24 goals in the 2013/14 season.

He will return to a squad bolstered by a host of attacking players over the summer.

Boss Brendan Rodgers splashed out in excess of £60million on Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino, with strikers Divock Origi and Danny Ings also joining the Reds.
