Liverpool fullback Jose Enrique is backing Martin Skrtel to bounce back next season.
Enrique insists Skrtel can fight back from a tough season.
"Martin didn't have a great year and found himself on the bench but football can be like that sometimes," Enrique told liverpoolfc.com.
"I had a tough time myself earlier in the season. Martin was player of the season the year before and we shouldn't forget that.
"I still think he's one of the top defenders in the Premier League."
