Daniel Sturridge reveals he has spent ‘hundreds of thousands’ in attempt to avoid injuries
Daniel Sturridge has revealed that he has spent hundreds of thousands of pounds trying to prevent the injuries that have been so damaging to his footballing career.
Sturridge came to be regarded as one of the top strikers in England while at Liverpool but wasn’t able to maintain that status due largely to a series on physical problems.
And the 31-year-old has admitted that he even resorted to throwing his own cash at trying to strengthen himself in a bid to stay playing at the highest level.

Sturridge said: ‘I saw a quote from Marco Reus the other day which said he’d pay any amount of money to just play injury free and never be injured. And honestly, I’d do the same.
‘You know, I would. I would pay any amount of money.
‘I’d spend loads of money outside of the physios at work to do extra stuff to ensure that I can be as healthy as possible.

‘Hundreds of thousands, to be fair, you know, to make sure that my body has to be in the best shape possible.
‘And sometimes, you can do, you can put the hours in, you can do everything. But sometimes it is just luck.’
