Michael Laudrup has questioned Daniel Sturridge's commitment to the England side by expressing his surprise that the striker is expected to be fit to line up against Laudrup's Swansea side on Monday night, despite being ruled out of England's two recent World Cup qualifying matches.
“I was a little surprised" said the Dane. "We talk about a young player, a huge talent, and I am sure he would have played in a crucial game [for England] the other day. But he was injured and yet 48 hours later he is fit to play against us… I thought there were some rules that if you were injured you couldn’t just play with your team three of four days later.”
Laudrup was a great player, but clearly he's not such a great mathematician and England played on Tuesday night, meaning Sturridge had six days to get fit for the Swansea game.
