Daniel Sturridge has eased fears over his injury scare against Bayern Munich, claiming he's feeling better than he has in a while.

The Liverpool striker was substituted following a sublime third goal in the Reds' 3-0 win over the Bundesliga champions, hurting his thigh in the process of scoring.

The 27-year-old has looked sharp throughout pre-season, with team-mate Adam Lallana hailing him as a 'new signing' following an injury-free summer.

Though his manager, Jurgen Klopp, was tentative in prognosis following the victory in the Allianz Arena, Sturridge insists he will be fine.

“It just a little bit of tension kicking off,” the striker explained. “I've done a lot of running and a lot of work. We train on the morning of the games. I think it's just a bit of fatigue to be honest. I'll be okay.

“I'm feeling great, I've put in a lot of work, I trained a lot in the summer in LA. I haven't missed many sessions here, they're looking after me, we have done triple sessions and things like that.

“I've trained nearly every session. I'm feeling the best I've felt for a little while and I'm looking forward to the season and hopefully we can have some success.”

Sturridge notched his first goal of this pre-season to put the gloss on a magnificent win in the Audi Cup, collecting Ben Woodburn's through ball and lofting it over Sven Ulreich.

Liverpool now face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday in the final and will hope to continue their good form ahead of their Premier League opener against Watford on August 12.

Sturridge, however, is refusing to get carried away.

“It is brilliant to play in this team – we're always threatening and running at opponents,” he said. “We work hard tactically, as well as pressing. We attack together and defend together to it's been great.

“I don't want to get too excited. It's not the first game Bayern Munich have lost, they lost to Inter Milan as well. A lot of teams have been losing in pre-season, we are just fortunate we haven't.”

On his goal, he added: “The first time I was running he didn't come out. I watched when Mo (Salah) ran through and the keeper went down really early.

“Before I came on I was thinking if I'm through and in control I'm going to try and chip him because I saw he goes down quickly.

“He didn't actually go down, he went against my plan but it worked anyway.”
