I heard a few whisperings last year that Sturridge's injuries have taken a strong toll on his mental game too. A few times last season he chose not to play despite being selected and deemed fit by the medical staff, so scared was he of not picking up a further injury.
It's a massive shame because he was world class in 13/14 and, big if, if he was fit last season we probably would have been favourites to squeeze into the top four. At this point I think a lot of Liverpool fans are approaching his health with a freeroll mentality - that is, we're not expecting him to be fit for much of the season and we have to legislate for that, but it'll be a massive bonus is he is.
