Liverpool defender Agger delighted with playing comeback

Liverpool defender Dan Agger is delighted to be back in action.

Agger has had a frustrating time over the last two years as a foot problem saw him miss the last eight months of the 2007-8 season while a back injury restricted appearances in the last campaign and he underwent surgery in the summer.

After his latest spell in the treatment room for a groin injury, the Denmark international's return to fitness has eased any worries Benitez may have had about who to play at centre-back with Jamie Carragher currently operating on the right because of Glen Johnson's lengthy lay-off with a knee problem.

And after several months of frustration the 25-year-old is looking forward to playing regularly again.

"It has been annoying. I've done my best trying to play but it has been really difficult," said Agger. "If you have something you can't play with even if you try you know you are not 100%.

"It is so frustrating but you have to accept it is part of the game even though my injuries have not been that many, just big."
