Gonzales ready to fly

Last updated : 15 November 2005 By Adam Bryant
The Chilean winger's move to Anfield has been delayed because the Department of Work and Pensions have refused him a work permit.

But Gonzales qualifies for a Spanish passport in the summer and will finally complete his move.

"It won't be easy to win a place in the lineup and, if I achieve that, it won't be easy to maintain myself there, because Liverpool is such a competitive club that, if I relax, there are two or three players who want my place," he said.

"Rafa is always calling me. The last time we talked was 10 days ago. He asked me how I was feeling, if I was better from my injury. He is worried about my health.

"I don't have any problems to kick the ball as strong as always, although I know I have lack of movement yet. I'm 80 or 90% fit.

"They have to inform the exact date to me but I'm flying to England at the end of the month."
