That means he could be back for the Boxing Day clash with league leaders Leicester at Anfield.
Sturridge missed the start of the season after having surgery on his hip, and has barely featured since Jurgen Klopp's arrival at Anfield with foot and knee problems.
He returned to action against Swansea on November 29 and scored twice in the 6-1 Capital One Cup win at Southampton last week before dropping down to the bench for the clash with the Magpies.
Sturridge posted an message to Instagram followers after his latest fitness blow.
