Daniel Sturridge has been warned that he must work hard to force his way back into the Liverpool team after his injury nightmare.
Former Liverpool striker David Fairclough hopes "the penny has dropped" with Daniel Sturridge as he prepares to finally return from injury.
A lengthy list of fitness problems meant Sturridge started just seven Premier League games last season, and the England forward has not played since April after undergoing hip surgery.
Sturridge is now back in training and has an outside chance of returning to Brendan Rodgers' squad for Saturday's trip to Manchester United.
