Kewell said, "I'd be lying if I said I hadn't had a look at the Barcelona games, but I know I've just got to keep working. To be honest, I'd be happy to play against anyone right now, because it's been so long since I wore the red shirt."
He added, "But the Barca games are going to be massive and I would like to play a part. The injuries have been so frustrating. I know I can still be successful here. All I have to do is get myself fully fit again and get games under my belt."
