Liverpool is hopeful that striker Daniel Sturridge will be fit for the start of the Premier League season.
Sturridge suffered an ankle injury while on duty with England in their draw with the Republic of Ireland last Wednesday and it was feared that he could be out for up to four months.
Initial assessments suggested the striker had suffered ligament damage, but Liverpool confirmed that after seeing a specialist it was confirmed that Sturridge had suffered a “high ankle sprain”
The club is now confident that the former Chelsea man will be fit for the start of the new campaign. “Liverpool hopes to have Daniel Sturridge available for the beginning of the 2013-14 campaign,” a club statement said.
Sturridge scored 11 goals in 16 appearances for the Reds since signing for the club from Chelsea in January.
And with Luis Suarez likely to leave the club in the Summer, or at least miss the first six games of the season due to his ban for biting, the news on Sturridge will be welcomed by manager Brendan Rodgers.
