Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers suggests Daniel Sturridge could miss this weekend's FA Cup semi-final.

The 25-year old striker has not fully recovered from an injury he sustained in the quarter-replay at Blackburn Rovers last week and is now in doubt for Sunday's trip to Wembley to meet Aston Villa.

"He got injured at Blackburn and (is) unavailable fitness-wise for tonight," Rodgers told Sky Sports prior to the clash with Newcastle United on Monday night.

"We will see how he goes the rest of the week for the semi-final at the weekend."

Sturridge has had a nightmare campaign with the Reds, featuring just 12 times in the Premier League and six other appearances in all other competitions, due to various leg and hip injuries.
