Liverpool striker Divock Origi was in a rich vein of form before sustaining an ankle injury in the Merseyside derby last month.

The 21-year-old, who scored five goals in his last five games before being struck down, claims that he was happy to repay the love the club has shown towards him as he strives to make a return to the pitch before the end of the season.

He told the club's official website: "When you get a lot of love, you're grateful and you try to repay this.

"It makes me work so hard, it gives me energy to work hard on my rehab and give everything to be back on the pitch and help the group."
