Daniel Sturridge looks forwards to playing in 2022 World cup.

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has targeted a place in England’s squad for the next World Cup after missing out on selection for this summer’s tournament.

Sturridge featured in five of England’s qualification matches for Russia but missed out on selection for Gareth Southgate’s 23-man squad that advanced to the semi-finals. The 28-year-old was loaned out to West Brom in January but was unable to help them avoid relegation to the Sky Bet Championship, as he failed to score in his six appearances.

Sturridgehas scored eight goals in 26 appearances for his country, however, and is targeting a place in the England squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, if they qualify. “You can never say what could have been or ‘I should have been there’ [at the World Cup] or this, that,” Sturridge told ESPN
