"The game against Manchester City on Monday looks too soon for me. I've not trained for three weeks and still feel some pain when I jog. I could be out for a few more weeks if I play too soon," said Baros.
"Hopefully I'll be fit for the Liverpool game. I'd like to face them because there is always a special motivation in facing one of your former clubs but I have nothing to prove to Liverpool and there are no hard feelings. I have a lot of friends there.
"When I left it was not about me and Rafael Benitez. It was about Liverpool and Villa and the future. I came to England and had to learn the language and settle down in Liverpool and for the first season I wasn't successful.
"In the first season I played just 15 minutes in the Champions League. The next season was quite okay and I scored a few goals but then I was injured. I came back from that, then it was Euro 2004 where I did well, and then the Liverpool manager changed. I started well last season and scored 11 goals in 20 games. Then I picked up an injury again and when I came back I could not find my previous form."
