Liverpool's Harry Kewell hopes to be back in action in time
for the Champions League first knockout stage clash with
Barcelona.
The Australian winger hasn't played since injuring his foot with
the Socceroos at the World Cup finals in Germany. But after a
frustrating spell on the sidelines he hopes to be back on the pitch
by the time the Reds face reigning European champions Barca in the
Nou Camp on February 21.
"I hope that I'm about three or four weeks away from being fully
fit," Kewell told the club's official website.
"I'm under the supervision of the medical team here and the
surgeons who operated on me, so once they're all happy with the
running then I can start on ball work. Once that's going well it's
up to the manager when he decides I'm ready."
