​Sturridge confronted Carragher after the Liverpool icon's TV comments

Jamie Carragher has revealed Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge questioned him in person over comments he made on Sky Sports.

The Liverpool legend turned TV pundit expressed his opinion that the Reds should move Sturridge due to his consistent injuries.

Sturridge then approached Carragher when the two were in Australia with Liverpool.

"As soon as I got on the plane, I could see Sturridge wasn't his normal self with me. And he pulled me in Australia after the game, or at half time when we'd come off," said Carragher in an interview with Anfield Extra.

"He said 'why did you say they should sell me?'. I said 'ooh, fair enough!' I thought 'I'm not having you putting me on the back foot' so I went straight back and said 'well, what else can they do?!'

"He wasn't too happy that I'd said that, but my point was that a player of his quality, you either play or you go.

"I was happy he said it. It's fair enough; we give stick out, and plenty of praise too, so who are we to say that someone can't have an opinion on us?"
