Liverpool fullback Fabio Aurelio says he called on former club Sao Paulo to help him get over his knee injury.
Aurelio said: "I am feeling good and working hard to try and get back into the squad for Saturday.
"The international break came at a good time for me because I have been able to work hard and not miss too many more games. I'm playing in a practice game on Thursday and I hope to prove my fitness and be involved against Burnley.
"I have been training for three weeks now and I can't wait to get back."
Aurelio added: "The injury could not have come at a worse time. I was with my brother-in-law and some friends playing football and joking around and suddenly I felt something strange in my knee.
"I called my old team Sao Paulo and they examined the knee and found there was a cartilage injury.
"I then phoned Liverpool and got permission to get the knee operated on. It was my holiday and I spent the rest of the time recovering.
"The good thing is it feels fine now, I am now back and hoping to help the team. I played in a practice game last week and I felt good."
