"I am probably physically in the best shape I have been involved in," said the Liverpool man. "I have felt refreshed and have felt great over the last few weeks.
"Coming into this has come at the right time and I feel the most balanced and fit I have been for quite a few years.
"I will be fine and I proved with Cardiff a couple of seasons ago that I could playing a couple of games in a week. I was more involved with one game at a time with Liverpool."
"It has been such an immense experience so far. I never thought I would be involved in anything like this and I want to enjoy this for the rest of my life.
