Sturridge hip surgery a success

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has revealed he underwent a successful hip operation on Tuesday.

The England international has been plagued by injuries this season and his latest setback has kept him on the sidelines for a month.

Brendan Rodgers last week said the Merseyside club have consulted specialists in the United States amid reports that Sturridge is to undergo an operation.

"Just want to let the world know I've had a successful operation on my hip today and I want to thank God for allowing that to be possible," the 25-year-old stated.

"Onwards and upwards from here. Thanks for the support."

Sturridge has made only 18 appearances in all competitions for Rodgers' side in a frustrating campaign.
