Liverpool striker Sturridge sprains ankle

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is expected to miss his side's Premier League encounter against Hull City Sunday due to an ankle injury.

"The striker rolled his ankle in training," read a statement on the Liverpool website, reports Xinhua.

"Sturridge returned to training at Melwood this week; however, he sustained an ankle sprain which will require further assessment."

The 24-year-old, who has scored nine goals this season, came off the bench to score an 89th-minute equaliser in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Everton last weekend.
