If we can prove that he is injured then there would be no issues, but BR cannot say that Sturridge is injured for England and not for league games, this will never fly, not even for United. BR should just say that Sturridge didn't fly to Basel because he is injured, then Roy will have problems naming him in the squad on Thursday. BR could then even play Sturridge in the WE and say that Sturridge needs to recover as the injury re-surfaced a bit. That's the only way it can work not by showing balls, but by being clever.


Take a look back at what bacon face used to do. Higgs would be in the Wales squad, play for Utd at the weekend and then get a mysterious injury and pull out only to be fit for the next league game. They did it all the time.

He's our player. We pay his wages. We should have the final say in the matter regardless.

And, if he goes, he should be allowed to train as he needs to not how some dinosaur of a manager thinks he should. If Woy can't understand that modern players need their own training regimes then maybe he should put himself out to pasture?


This is what I am saying, an injury has to be reported whether mysterious or not, that's the only way it can work. England's medical team even have the right to check the player if they want to, so even if it is unfair regarding who is paying wages etc, this is the rule. The other option is for Sturridge to stay firm and say that he is unfit, whether it be for the game or training. If Sturridge knows that he cannot train a day after a game, he should have told the manager that he cannot train, Roy cannot force him to train but of course can opt not to select him in a game.

In a nutshell, clubs are not in the strong position when it comes to country games, the only way to get away with it is to be clever (even cheeky to some extent) and get the player on your side.

I want Liverpool players to play for their country for one thing I think it developers them as players but apart from that I am an Englishman proud of my country and proud when Liverpool players get picked. Also if sturrage is so delicate he can't play international football then there is something badly wrong. I suspect though he wants to play for sell the reasons above including his career and the story is just smoke from Rodgers

The only problem with this whole thing is that Studge is injury prone. He cannot do this on the long-term. I am afraid he will end up like Dagger..

Rodgers has just created a problem that he didn't have to.

Sturridge plays against West Brom, but misses England game, he will get a 3 match ban, not to mention the media [oops] storm that will happen against Rodgers and LFC again.

Spot on.
He doesn't need a half fit Sturridge to beat the mighty San Marino and Estonia. Saint Wayne of Scumchester won't play for his club in October, Welbeck got 2 v Switzerland, Oxtail Chambermaid is fit again and what better opposition to bring in someone like Berahino if Skrtel don't kick him about too much on Saturday.
Plenty of options there. Of course Woy could pick him and send him and a couple of others back to their clubs injured if he has become sick of doing the England job.

It wasn't that he played too many games that got him injured. It was Woy completely disregarding his training needs after the friendly. As much as I like and am proud of England, while this turd is in charge we're not going to do a thing. And if he keeps disregarding what players need and runs them into the ground, it's only going to work against him too.

Simple thing is he won't get picked.

I cannot believe Woy has not spoken to BR about the situation. He was at Anfield last Saturday sitting next to Ian Rush. He has a duty to speak to BR seeing as he is sat in the same stadium when he needs to know the progress of a key England player.

This is all a media circus to sell more papers. Woy will come out and say he can pick who he wants and then declare that he only picked players who would be fit to take part in both games. I think the media are being played here by BR and Woy and the papers will spin this out over the next few days.
