Daniel Sturridge has made just five appearances as a substitute since signing for Perth Glory and now the former Liverpool striker is facing a further frustrating spell on the sidelines after sustaining an injury – blamed on a rushed warm-up – which curtailed his latest attempt to make an impact on the A-League Men.
Sturridge, who in October last year was hailed by Glory owner Tony Sage as one of the biggest signings in A-League history, has struggled for time on the pitch due to the fitness issues that have plagued his career combined with three separate stints in quarantine since arriving in Australia.
