Daniel Sturridge not "stressing" over England future

Sturridge not focused on England

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has admitted that he isn't focused on the possibility of being included in the England senior team for the Euro 2012 tournament.

The 22-year-old, who was not selected for any of the Three Lions' qualification matches, is being tipped to feature in the side's international friendly against Sweden next month.

"If England comes and I play for England then great," said Sturridge. "But I am not really worried about playing for England - it is not something I am really stressing about.

"My main focus is to play for Chelsea every week and if I can do that then I am happy."

The Blues frontman could be in contention to replace Manchester United's Wayne Rooney in the England setup after the striker was served a three-match ban for his red card offence against Montenegro.
