​Liverpool's Sturridge misses out on England qualifiers

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has been left out of the England squad for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania.

Sturridge, who has just recovered from a hip injury, scored twice in Saturday's 3-2 win over Aston Villa.

England manager Roy Hodgson is expecting Sturridge to be back in his squad for friendlies against Spain and France in November.

"The best way to have him for November is to leave him out for October," said Hodgson.

"We can survive without him for the next two games. Our hope is that he will come to us in November super-fit, fully recovered and in great form."
