Jon Flanagan is happy to be back at Liverpool for preseason.

The fullback spent last season on-loan at Burnley.

“It feels good [to have returned]. Obviously it's our first day of pre-season today and I'm glad to be back, raring to go," the defender told Liverpoolfc.com.

“I've been doing work over the summer, trying to keep fit and ticking over. We know it's going to be a tough pre-season so it's vitally important for me to come back raring to go and in good shape.

"I can't wait to get started. I think it's a bit of a fresh start. I had a few injuries [but] hopefully they're past me now and hopefully I can kick on and show what I can do.

“I didn't play as much as I wanted to but going there, training every day, I felt fit. I'm coming back here after a full year of training on my knee, so [it's] all good.

“The last two pre-seasons have been stop-start, really, so this one is to be clear-minded. [I need to] go straight forward and stay fit."
