Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has revealed that he has taken part in the most intense pre-season of his career under manager Jurgen Klopp.

The 26-year-old, who has consistently struggled with injury problems during his career, is hopeful that his hard work in the pre-season will help him play consistently in 2016/17.

"It has been a lot of hard work, running sessions and tactical sessions," Sturridge told LFC TV.

"I am feeling fresh. Pre-season is about pushing your body to the limits and it is one of those things where you have to battle and push yourself through the sessions.

"It is probably the most intense (pre-season) I have experienced at any club.

"It is certainly something everyone is getting used to and something which will hopefully put us in good stead for the rest of the season.

"I think there is more emphasis on tactics because there is time to develop but it will take time."
