He is training on his own
Yeah, because Klopp is trying a specific training program for Sturridge so that he reaches a certain level of fitness and stays there.
He is training on his own
He was unable to put his injury problems behind him though and never regained a regular starting place for Wolves again. [...] At QPR his injury problems continued and he was only able to appear in 11 matches for the team, and never scored for them. [...] At Kidderminster he featured in six matches without finding the net, before suffering an Achilles tendon injury which ended his season prematurely.
At Wolves he suffered a serious injury at the start of the 1996–97 and after making fleeting appearances in the next two years he left the club.
"Maybe it's my body type, maybe it's hereditary.
"Both my uncles had injuries, and my dad had them as well.
Klopp: “No. No chance for Daniel. He has had a break in training because of some issues. He’s now back training but losing time. But no team training since Newcastle. I don’t know how long it is. That’s not a situation we can think about him.”
What has Studge done for Klopp to want to freeze him out? He is easily the best striker we have.
You can see why he'd be open to suggestions that there's a genetic aspect to his injury problems.
Here's a couple of snippets from a summary of Uncle Dean's career:
And here's the same from Uncle Simon's career:
Now I don't think his own problems are likely to stem from this, but he's clearly talked himself into making sense of it all at least in part from that:
That's why think he needs to fight, and be seen to fight, against such perspectives. He needs to think of himself as a one-off, a unique player with ordinary physical problems that can be overcome. If Steve Peters is still around, he needs to be working like mad to get him thinking in that way. It's surely indubitable that he's the kind of athlete who is susceptible to certain injuries, but most of the others still have long and successful careers without all of this neuroticism and even fatalism that seems to cloud his attitude. The club needs to get all the bespoke training and recovery programmes right for him, but the mental side seems unusually important, too. And if none of that works, well, sadly, he's done, and everyone has to move on.
Is he?Injured again today?
Gotta laugh
Really?Just saw the klopp pre match regarding exeter. When they raised the question about studge it was obvious from klopps reaction that he has no interest in keeping him.

Not so quick.Roll out the body-language experts! Once more!
There's a rumour going around twatter land that he'll never play footy again.
Some divvy said he was told by an academy player.
People are actually believing it too and are going mental.
Jurgen Klopp has been urged to ‘stop protecting’ Daniel Sturridge and tell Liverpool fans the truth about the striker’s continued absence.
Sturridge has been a virtual ever-present in the treatment room in recent years and has made just six appearances this season, the latest at the start of December.
Klopp was reluctant to discuss the 26-year-old’s fitness issues ahead of last weekend’s clash with Manchester United, with the Reds boss giving no indication of when he will return to action.
But Anfield legend Dietmar Hamann believes his fellow German is deliberately - and wrongly - keeping supporters in the dark over Sturridge’s ongoing issues, which he is convinced are more psychological than physical.
The Champions League winner, a former teammate of Sturridge’s at Manchester City, told talkSPORT: “The club has got a responsibility to tell the paying public what is wrong with him.
"If he has got a hamstring injury, an ankle injury, or whatever he may have, the people who pay for a season ticket have got a right to know what is wrong with him.
"Judging by the way Jurgen Klopp answered his questions [ahead of the Manchester United game] I don't think there is too much wrong with the player.
“If there is nothing wrong with him, it is more important to be honest and truthful with the paying public than to protect a player who has hardly played in the last 18 months, who seems to choose when he wants to play.
“He has got three years left on his contract and I don’t see any reason, if there is nothing wrong with the player, why the club should protect him.”
In November, Klopp alluded to the idea that Sturridge’s problems could be more mental than physical, telling reporters the England international must learn the difference between “serious pain and what is only pain”.
Hamann was in the Manchester City side when Sturridge made his senior debut as a 17-year-old, and he claims it was evident in the early part of his career that the talented hitman was not willing to push himself through the pain barrier.
“There was always something wrong with him on the Thursday or the Friday. His back, his hamstring, there was always something," added Hamann.
“If you look at his record since he has played professional football he probably doesn’t average half the games a season - and it has got worse at Liverpool.
“I am not saying he is pretending to be injured, I’m not sure. But if he is injured, say it. Nobody knows what is going on with him.
“People have spent £800 or £1000 to watch Liverpool at home and sometimes even away and the star player is not playing and nobody knows where he is.
“If there isn’t a problem with him, then it is time to stop protecting the player.”

Sturridge's fitness issues are, apparently, due to the fact that he spends most friday afternoons eating peanut butter & banana sandwiches with Elvis, who he met when they were both victims to an alien abduction on 30th Feb 2013. The aliens strangely resembled 6ft lizards with Boston accents.This thread is like an invitation for all the bat-shit crazy, conspiracy theorists to come out to play. It's like fucking cat-nip.
It's a pretty sad photo GeneI wanna see the picture of the dog with a ham on his head.
Sorry have we moved from his injuries being in his head to saying his injuries are caused by his mindset now?
That's just a slice of ham. Gene asked for a ham.It's a pretty sad photo Gene
