5) Daniel Sturridge

The unpredictable Liverpool forward is known to be quite a workhorse adept at scoring goals when he is fit to play. With his club career unfortunately marred with numerous injuries, Sturridge has proved to be quite indispensable for his country; case in point being England's most recent match against Wales in Euro 2016.
The 2013-14 season at Liverpool was a brilliant one for Sturridge as he, along with Luis Suarez and captain Steven Gerrard formed the talismanic trio that was responsible for Liverpool's dream run and strong title challenge.
He started the 2014-15 season for Liverpool late after picking up a thigh injury while on duty representing England. Then manager Brendan Rodgers expressed disapproval at the national team's handling of Daniel Sturridge. The Liverpool star also missed the beginning of the 2015-16 season for his club to recuperate from a hip operation in May 2015.
Sturridge, surprisingly, has consistently played at the international level. In the 2012 Summer Olympics where he was a part of an eighteen man squad for the Great Britain Olympic football team. In the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Sturridge played in the match vs Italy scoring the nation's only goal in a 2-1 defeat of his side.
His most recent goal in Euro 2016 comes after nearly a season of absence from his club. It is amazing what a bit of rest does to his form. Unfortunately performing well for England comes at the cost of staying out for most of his Liverpool games, which does not quite seem fair to supporters of the club given Liverpool's current form.
