The 24-year-old England international has scored nine Premier League goals this season and has been instrumental in helping the club make a bright start to the campaign.
Sturridge was hurt in training and will now miss the busy festive period, including away Premier League matches against Tottenham Hotspur on Dec. 15, Manchester City on Dec. 26 and Chelsea three days later.
"Daniel Sturridge is out for six to eight weeks which is obviously a big blow," Rodgers said on Sky Sports before Sunday's league match at Hull City.
Sturridge came off the bench to score an 89th-minute equaliser in the thrilling 3-3 draw against neighbours Everton last weekend.
