Liverpool fullback Aurelio hoping for first start of the season

Liverpool fullback Fabio Aurelio hopes for a first start for the season tonight against Steaua Bucharest.

The Brazilian full-back continued his latest comeback from injury with substitute appearances in the Reds' last two outings and is now hoping for a chance to get 90 minutes under his belt when Roy Hodgson's men travel to Romania.

"I'm feeling good," he told Liverpoolfc.tv. "I'm recovered fully from the injury and match fitness is what I'm looking for now.

"I'll probably get an opportunity in Romania and if I do, I'll really look forward to starting a game.

"Hopefully I can take my chance and help ensure I play more games for the team."
