Daniel Sturridge hasn’t been seen since he limped off the pitch in Liverpool’s FA Cup quarter-final win against Blackburn.

The Reds striker followed up a dream 2013/14 campaign with an injury-plagued 2014/15 season and his absence was seen as a massive contributing factor in Liverpool’s failure to break the top four.

But the comeback is most definitely on the horizon for the former Chelsea forward as he uploaded a video of himself taking part in some freestyle dribbling as he looks to get himself back to full fitness.

You can see that he’s not quite comfortable running at full speed yet as he recovers from hip surgery and his return is not expected before October but still, promising signs for Liverpool fans.
