Daniel Sturridge has declared himself “fit and ready to go” as he prepares to make his Liverpool FC comeback.

The Reds striker returned to full training on Tuesday - a month after suffering a knee injury which has forced him to sit out the past seven matches.

Boss Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to rush Sturridge back into action at Manchester City on Saturday but Sturridge says he’s desperate to help spearhead Liverpool’s pursuit of glory under the new manager.

Speaking at the launch of the Liverpool FC Signature Collection at the city’s Titanic Hotel, Sturridge said: “I’m fit and ready to go and it’s going to be a great time for me.

“It’s been great under the new manager. I’ve been back training for the past couple of days and I was training when he first arrived.

“It’s an exciting time to be at the club and I’m enjoying working with him and the style of football. It’s important for us to understand what he wants us to do.”

Liverpool head for the Etihad sitting in 10th place - seven points adrift of the top four - but Sturridge is optimistic about the months ahead.

“I was on the outside but it was great to see the boys win at Chelsea,” he added.

“We had a disappointing result last time out against Palace but it’s important to move on.

“The Premier League is the best league in the world in terms of competitiveness. There are teams up there this season you wouldn’t have expected.

“It’s up for grabs this season, there isn’t a real favourite. It will come down to who can be the most consistent.”

Sturridge was joined at the launch by fellow Reds striker Divock Origi, who moved to Anfield from Lille last summer.

“It’s been nice to join a big club like Liverpool and I am enjoying myself,” Origi said.

“There’s a great atmosphere in the club and I am trying to help the team.

“It’s always nice to play with big players. I can learn a lot from the likes of Daniel and Christian (Benteke). I want to prove myself to the new manager and gain more experience.”

Sturridge added: “I’ve been very impressed by Divock and it’s been great to see him get some opportunities. It’s important for the likes of myself to help him settle in and improve.”
