Liverpool remaining hopeful regarding Sturridge's FA Cup semi-final presence

Daniel Sturridge still remains a chance of being passed fit for Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final.

The Reds take on Aston Villa at Wembley on Sunday and have their fingers crossed that striker Sturridge can get up for the final four fixture after suffering a knock in the quarter-final replay against Blackburn Rovers last week.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is still holding hope that injury-prone Sturridge is available after earlier suggesting he may miss the Villa clash.

"He will hopefully be okay for the weekend. I will know more in the week," said Rodgers after Monday night's 2-0 win over Newcastle United.

"He feels reasonably fine so we are hoping by the middle of the week we will have an indication where he is at."
