Liverpool will give striker Daniel Sturridge a tailored fitness programme this summer in the hope of resolving his injury problems.

Sturridge has suffered four significant injury setbacks in the last seven months, and the club are keen to ensure those problems do not persist, sources have told ESPN FC.

The 25-year-old has made just seven Premier League starts this season, and is currently out of action with a torn hip muscle.

Sturridge has made one attempt to come back from his latest injury, sustained against Manchester United on March 22, but has missed his side's last two matches and is expected to be unavailable for Saturday's Premier League trip to West Brom.
