Liverpool legend Hansen writes off Euro chances for Chelsea's Sturridge

Liverpool legend Alan Hansen has told Chelsea striker Danny Sturridge to forget about next year's Euros.

Hansen doesn't believe the newly-called up 22 year-old will make the final cut.

He told the Telegraph: "Despite his qualities, Daniel Sturridge is a million miles away from being ready to take a place in the euro 2012 squad.

"He is a long way from being the finished article and, when all settles down at Chelsea, I cannot see him being more than a substitute at Stamford Bridge this season.

"The big thing in his favour is that he has pace in abundance and that scares defenders."
