Liverpool striker Danny Ings has said that he’s working hard to make sure his recovery from injury goes well.


The former Burnley man suffered a serious knee injury in training shortly after Jürgen Klopp was appointed manager – and Ings is looking to make sure he impresses his new boss with his work rate.

“Being here at Liverpool it is going to be important to make sure I’m eating right, sleeping right, taking my vitamins, doing my gym work, icing my knee and resting every day.” he told the Echo.

“Otherwise you are playing catch up. You have to be more dedicated when you are injured because there is more of a mountain to climb to reach the top.

“I think he knows he doesn’t have to worry about me slacking off.” he continued.

Ings made his England debut shortly before suffering the injury and he is determined to make a return to the international fold once he’s fit again.

“My dream as a child was to play for England and to represent my country and I got that opportunity,” said Ings.

“I had just got my foot in the door and all of sudden it was slammed on my toes.

“But I don’t think that dream is over for me. I am not one of those guys who gets a cap and I am going to fall away now.

“Hopefully when I am fit I can get back in the manager’s thoughts and see where it takes me. He left a voicemail message for me and some texts. It gives me fire in my belly to go again.” he finished.
