Pic: Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has ‘successful’ hip operation in Boston

Hopefully this will finally get Daniel Sturridge fully fit and back on the field

The Liverpool striker this evening confirmed that he has had surgery in a bid to correct a persistent hip problem. Sturridge, who has missed the Reds' last five games in the latest setback of an injury-plagued campaign, flew to the US last week for further tests and the decision was taken to go under the knife. The 25-year-old will now sit out Liverpool's final three games of this season but will hope to back to full fitness in time to take part in preseason training. He posted a picture of him in hospital in Boston and told fans: “Just want to let the world know I’ve had a successful operation on my hip today and I want to thank God for allowing that to be possible. Onwards and upwards from here. Thanks for the support. Daniel x.” https://instagram.com/p/2T0zEhnNQq/?taken-by=danielsturridge
