Despite a largely disappointing season continuing with the loss to Lille in the Europa League last night, Liverpool have received some positive news with word that Martin Skrtel is recovering well from his metatarsal injury. The centre-back was initially ruled out for eight weeks, but that timescale could shorten should his fitness improve at such an impressive rate.

"I must say, I’m in a better state of health now," Skrtel told his official website. "I have been undergoing regular treatment on the injury at our Melwood training centre, along with getting massages and doing various exercises so that the muscles in my foot don’t weaken. The foot is not swollen any more and it doesn’t hurt as much as before."

Skrtel sustained the injury against Unirea Urziceni on the 25th of February.
