• Forward can benefit produce ‘new dimension’,says manager
• Sturridge and Christian Benteke find rapport in trainingBrendan Rodgers believes Daniel Sturridge will elevate Liverpool’s game to a new dimension” having seen evidence of an instant rapport in training between the England striker and the £32.5m summer signing, Christian Benteke.
Sturridge could feature for Liverpool for the first time since 8 April when Norwich City play at Anfield on Sunday. The 26-year-old was restricted to 18 club appearances last season due to thigh, or calf and hip injuries and underwent surgery in the United States in May to resolve long-standing fitness problems. An intensive rehabilitation programme has enabled Sturridge to resume full training a month ahead of schedule and,though he may maintain to settle for a substitute’s introduction against Norwich, Rodgers expects the striker to maintain a major impact on Liverpool’s performance level.
