SAS is Back !!!

Sturridge might be back to partner Suarez sooner rather than later

Double defeats over the festive period has seen Liverpool drop from first place on Christmas Day to fifth place on New Years, but as Joe Allen and Mamadou Sakho go onto the treatment table following Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Sunday, a number of Reds players are jumping off it and will be back in the mix in the very near future.

Brendan Rodgers confirmed that skipper Steven Gerrard could be fit to face Hull City on Wednesday as the calendar rolls over, and though he wasn’t mentioned specifically by the Northern Irishman. Daniel Sturridge is also on the road to recovery with pictures coming out of today’s training session at Melwood showing the striker kitted up and ready to go ahead of an expected return to action by the second week of January.

Brendan rogers has revealed that Sturridge could be available for game against Hull City.

B.R. - "We will assess that in the next 24hrs. Daniel is ahead of schedule. He might not be too far over the few weeks. He was out running the other day doing straight-line running and he is now doing more multi-directional running and then training next week and we will have a good week of training."

"Over the next couple of weeks we will get those players back and it will look a lot brighter for us."

Three matches in eight days has taken a toll on an already thin squad, but the return of the likes of Gerrard and Sturridge, along with an astute purchase or two during the January window, could re-ignite the title charge that everyone even remotely associated with Liverpool is quick to talk down – or, at least, that’s the story they should be sticking to.
