Daniel Sturridge: Out At Least Two Weeks

Sturridge is set to miss at least two weeks after suffering a thigh strain during training with England last week, The Guardian reports.

Analysis:

Sturridge has been ruled out for Sunday's match against Aston Villa, and he could miss two additional Premier League matches against West Ham and Everton. In addition, he will not play against Ludogorets in the Champions League, a big blow to Liverpool ahead of some very important matches. Mario Balotelli will likely continue to start up front, with Rickie Lambert potentially getting some more playing time in the short-term.
