Liverpool defender Martin Kelly is happy to be fully fit.
The 23-year-old made a welcome return in last month's Capital One Cup defeat at Manchester United, almost exactly a year after being sidelined by a cruciate knee injury.
He suffered a minor setback after that game but insists he is now recovered and awaiting his opportunity.
"You have to have a lot of patience in football as well as knowing when you are given your chance you have to take it," he said.
"It has taken a long time to get back to full fitness. I feel really strong physically now and I am biding my time to get my chance and grab it with both hands.
"It has taught me to look after myself in terms of what my body needs to cope with demands of the Premier League and over the past 12 months (I've been) getting myself to a physical condition which will cater for that and I'm raring to go to get that chance."
