Daniel Sturridge said he will use his own experiences of injury to try to help his Liverpool team-mates cope with their own recent setbacks.

Fellow striker Divock Origi was the latest Red to be struck down on Wednesday after an ankle stamp by Everton centre-back Ramiro Funes Mori saw him carried off on a stretcher early in the second half.

That brought Sturridge on to the pitch in the Anfield derby but not before he checked on his fellow striker’s condition as he left the stage.

Origi underwent a scan on Thursday with more news on whether he can play again this season expected on Friday.

The young Belgian’s opener against Everton was his 10th of the season and while Sturridge believes he has had an “exceptional” season, he refused to take any credit for helping his young team-mate develop.

Sturridge said: “He has put the work in himself so I wouldn’t like to take credit for the work he has done. You have to take things from everyone’s game and if he’s taken things from my game I am grateful I could help him.

“I go about my business a certain way and I’m not too old to learn from any players. I still watch clips of older generations - Thierry Henry, Ronaldo - as well as players who aren’t playing for top clubs. I am a student of the game, I like to watch and it is important to keep adding facets to your game so you can improve.”

And on the injury situation, he added: “Not just Divock, Hendo, Emre. I always speak to the players who have had injuries. I’ve had to deal with them and it is a mental rollercoaster having to deal with them so I always try to give them a boost because there can be low points when you are injured and you feel alone and not part of things.

“Hopefully they all recover fast. Hendo, Emre, Divock have all done exceptional this season so hopefully they will all be back before the end of the season.

“It is going to be difficult but hopefully Divock doesn’t look as bad so hopefully he will be back soon. It is not a great challenge (by Funes Mori) is it?”

Sturridge, 26, took his own season’s tally to 10 with his second half finish against Everton, a total achieved in just 14 starts given his own fitness problems earlier in the season.

The striker said winning the Derby was “a beautiful feeling” and he felt consistency was seeing Jurgen Klopp’s team get stronger and stronger.

“It was a great performance from the team," said Sturridge. "To beat our local rivals and give our fans bragging rights is always a beautiful feeling.

“The consistency is crucial to keep getting results. I wouldn’t necessarily say we have turned a corner but I’d say each game we’re getting stronger and as long as that continues hopefully we will be a successful team this season and in the future.

“There are some huge games up and everyone is looking forward to those, everyone is hyped up for them. But we’ve still got the Premier League games as well and Newcastle is a big game this weekend.

"We can’t overlook those and think we will focus on the Europa League.”
