Liverpool fans thanked by Coutinho

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho is grateful to the club's fans for their support during his recent injury lay-off. The 21-year-old Brazil international made his comeback for the Reds during their 2-0 away defeat to Arsenal last weekend.

"The fans' support was very important," he told Liverpool's official website.

"They were always sending me messages through Twitter, which were very gratifying. I read them every day and they motivated my recovery.

"I'm very happy to be back. I had six very difficult weeks and thank God I've made my comeback, but on the other hand I was sad due to the result [at Arsenal].

"However, that's over now and we must concentrate on our upcoming matches."
