Rafael Benitez today revealed new signing Alberto Aquilani is making good progress in his recovery
from an ankle injury.
The Liverpool boss isn't putting a timescale on when we'll see
his new signing in action for the first time, but he admits
Aquilani is improving as he continues to work under the guidance of
the Reds' medical staff at Melwood.
"Alberto is improving," said Benitez. "We were talking before about
six to eight weeks and after a few weeks his ankle is much better
but he will need time.
"He's in the swimming pool and in the gym and working with the
physios but he's not jogging yet.
"We cannot put a date on things and it's important to just see how
he progresses.
"We are checking on him regularly and he had a scan in the past
week which showed he is much better.
"It's just a case of keeping an eye on him every day. When he does
start to play everyone will see what a clever player he is."
