Manchester City boss Sven Goran Eriksson has named Danny Sturridge in his squad for their FA Cup tie against Sheffield United.
Eriksson believes Sturridge, who scored a hat-trick in City's 3-1 FA Youth Cup win over Reading on Wednesday, is a star of the future.
"He is strong and his technique is excellent as he has a very good first touch," said Eriksson. "He is friends with the ball. He doesn't fight with it. It comes to him naturally. He is a good player, now and for the future."
