England coach Roy Hodgson says he'll seek to work closely with Liverpool to maintain Danny Sturridge's fitness.
Hodgson denied that they work any differently from the Reds' fitness staff.
"No we don't. That's another myth," he said. "We also like to give players a second-day recovery when we can. But it's much less obvious that we can do that because of the shortage of time we get between games.
"Of course if you have a week between games you can give two days off, you can give three days off if you want. We can't. But that's not a particular thing.
"It was unfortunate that Daniel got injured as he did and we were sad about that but he's had a few injuries since then and I haven't seen too many people writing about that.
"The other three muscles injuries he's picked up? Are they due to England and the way we work? I don't think so. It's just one of those things.
"If I hear he's having a special programme and needs to do certain things, we'll take it into consideration. Of course we will.
"If he's got a special programme our medical people will know that because they're in contact with the Liverpool medical people."
