Liverpool defender Jon Flanagan has admitted that he "can't wait" to get back to full fitness this season.
The full-back has yet to feature for the Reds this term after picking up a knee injury during their summer tour of the USA.
However, with a return to training on the horizon, the 21-year-old is looking forward to fighting for a place in the team.
"I don't think it will be too long now and I think I should be back after the international break if all goes well," he told the club's official website.
"It has been frustrating for me but I can't dwell on it. It was tough to pick up the injury in pre-season but I've just got to forget about that now and push on.
"It's going to be tough but I'm more determined than ever. It's a massive season for me and I just can't wait to get back now."
Liverpool are back in action after the international break when they host Aston Villa in the Premier League.
