Bojan Krkic has stated that he is raring to make his first start in the Premier League this weekend.

Bojan has made a recovery from the long term injury he suffered in January last season and the striker recently made his return to Premier League action, coming on as a substitute during the 2-0 defeat against Arsenal last week.

Now the Spaniard could be handed his first Premier League start in eight months against Leicester City this weekend and the former Barcelona star feels that he is ready for the challenge.

Speaking the Stoke Sentinel, Bojan said: "I don't know when it will be that I can make my first start, but I am ready. I feel really good and I'm training really hard. Now I'm just waiting for the gaffer to decide to start me because I feel ready and I can't wait.

"The physical fitness is fine. I need match practice of course, I need minutes in my legs to reach my best form," said the former Barcelona forward. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that as I come back I come back better than ever."
