Reds’ Sturridge does not need scan on thigh injury

LIVERPOOL striker Daniel Sturridge will miss the preseason Audi Cup final match against Atletico Madrid with a thigh injury but does not need a scan, the English Premier League club said.

Sturridge, who has been blighted by recurring hip, thigh and calf injuries over the past few seasons, felt a pain in his thigh after scoring Liverpool’s final goal in a 3-0 win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday and was substituted immediately. Liverpool said on its website the substitution was a precaution and it would continue to monitor the 27-year-old. “There are currently no plans for a scan to take place in Germany,” it added. Sturridge said after the match that the injury was not serious and put it down to fatigue. Liverpool plays Athletic Bilbao in its final preseason match on Saturday before kicking off its EPL campaign at Watford on August 12.
