Chelsea skipper John Terry has hailed the preseason form of Danny Sturridge.
Sturridge was again amongst the goals for Chelsea in their friendly win over Rangers.
"He has been brilliant all pre-season," Terry told Chelsea TV.
"He went away last season on loan and gained from the experience of playing week in, week out. He has grown into how good he believes he can be and everyone is seeing that now.
"It is just unfortunate he has his three-game ban, otherwise I am sure he would have been the first name down on the team sheet because he has been brilliant so far."
