The Czech striker returned to action in last night's reserves fixture, four months after breaking his leg at Ewood Park.

"Milan has been phenomenal in training recently and he has reminded us of exactly what we have been missing for five months," said the Liverpool boss.

"I think he has overcome the psychological aspect of his injury now.

"The ankle needed to strengthen and the pain had to go before he could get over it, and he isn't feeling any pain after training now.

"Hopefully he will be alright. This is an important step."
