Sturridge’s Return Massive, Says Rodgers

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers hailed the return of Daniel Sturridge as a massive boost to Liverpool’s chances against Everton, while revealing Christian Benteke may make his comeback from injury for the crucial Merseyside derby clash.
The Reds were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Sion in the Europa League on Thursday, missing a number of chances with Sturridge rested having only recently returned from a lengthy spell on the sidelines.


The match at Goodison Park on Sunday is a vital one for Rodgers – who has come under significant pressure with the Anfield side sitting down in ninth place – and he thinks the return of Sturridge could be huge to his side’s hopes of recording victory.
“You saw Daniel’s quality last week,” said the manager. “He is at a real high level and he is important for us.”
