Liverpool boss Klopp: Sturridge will be ready for Euro2016

Jurgen Klopp is convinced Daniel Sturridge will be fully fit and firing for England at this summer's European Championships.

The 26-year-old striker has endured another injury-interrupted season but is returning to his absolute best the more minutes he gets under his belt with the Reds.

With two Premier League fixtures and the Europa League final against Sevilla to come in season 2015/16, Klopp is certain Sturridge will at his peak ahead of Euro2016 as he prepares to play a key role for England in France.

"With Sturridge I am pretty sure everyone liked what we did, with him playing here and resting there," said Klopp.

"I think it's the most consistent he's been fit since I've been here.

"He's at a high level from the first to last minute so yes, of course he will be ready for the European Championships."

Sturridge has been in solid scoring touch for the Reds in recent weeks, netting five goals in his past nine appearances, including four in six in the league.
