He needs to forget this christian **** and get some hard ass norse gods to pray to instead.

Wtf

[Norbs]

Is he still thanking god a lot these days or has he sussed it out?

Indeed

4 ****ing months!! you could amputate his leg and watch it grow back in that time

[vonk]

I've already written him off for all of next season.

Why is this a surprise to anyone? He's just had major surgery on his hip. Did you think he'd be back in a couple of months?

Anyway, it's only the middle of September, not a major deal.

That's when he resumes training and then he has to get fit. That could take another 2 months.

So out for 4 months is inaccurate.

4 months in rehab before resuming full training. Closer to 6 which has also been reported in a few media streams.

So it should be out for 6 months. The definition of 'out' for me is unavailable for first team action.

If were defining a timeline for Daniel Sturridge the safest bet is tbc.

That way none of us are looking forward to him coming back and we wont be disappointed when he only plays 10 games next season.

Next xmas at the earliest.

Without meaning to be overly optimistic, apparently all the injuries this season are linked to Daniel's hip. So the operation may be short term pain for long term gain and this is a lasting solution. The real downside is Daniel will miss another preseason.
