Daniel Sturridge left "heartbroken" with injury

Daniel Sturridge has claimed to be "heartbroken" after being ruled out of England's opening Euro 2016 qualifier with Switzerland on Monday.

The Liverpool striker sat out the end of training on Friday after suffering a thigh injury, ruling him out of next week's trip to Basel.

It has been reported that Sturridge could be facing up to four months on the sidelines, although it is not yet known how long the 25-year-old will be out.

Heartbroken soul right now believe me. Hopefully be back soon fighting fit for LFC. Nothing worse than being injured. My heads gone... 😪
