Victor Anichebe is determined to make himself first-choice at West Bromwich Albion.
The Nigeria striker is ready for a fitness drive during the international break after his injury struggles.
He said: "For me, over the international break, I need to go away, come back and be as fit as possible. I don't feel as sharp and fit as I was at the start of the season but that will come.
"I came back about a month or six weeks ago from hernia surgery, something which reoccurred after I did it a couple of years ago.
"I need to go away, come back and take care of my own body and be fitter than I have been recently.
"I have the medical team here, they have helped me a lot and I have guys in America I have worked with a lot. Between the two we have come up with a fitness regime which will help me to get to where I should be.
"I will go away and I will do parts to try to get myself ready but I'll also be with the team. We just need to come back after the international break and be ready for the difficult fixtures ahead of us."
