Aspas admits to difficult start with Liverpool career

Liverpool forward Iago Aspas arrived from Celta Vigo in the summer in a £7million deal but has lost his place in Brendan Rodgers' side after starting the season in the first XI. "I'm finding it hard to be a sub at Liverpool having started games in the past few years," the 26 year old told Marca.

"When I left Celta Vigo I was aware that to start for Liverpool wasn't going to be easy. And now the team is winning and we are among the leaders in the Premier League, it's very hard to get a game.

"I hope to carry on working hard and little by little to get more game time with Liverpool. I want to change the current situation.

"Now it's difficult to get in the Spain team because I'm playing less but I'm not worried about that. However, I will try to get in the squad."
