Daniel Sturridge has revealed he is training in America as he looks to get his career back on track.
The 30-year-old will finish serving a four-month ban in June after he was found guilt of breaching betting rules.
"I think firstly, it is about going back to doing what I love, which is playing football. That's the most important thing," Sturridge said in a podcast with Oxford Union.
"I love the game; I miss the game. I can't wait to get out there and help my team win games, score goals and get assists.
"That's my main focus. I am training in America at the moment. I am getting my body right and getting in good shape. I will be ready and raring to go when my ban is up. I am eagerly awaiting that. So I am really excited about that and it being over with and getting on with it."
