The Slovakian defender has praised the Reds fans who have made him a cult hero since he joined Liverpool from Zenit St Petersburg last January.
"The Liverpool fans are one of the best in the world," said Skrtel.
"When I'm out in the city they always come up to me to shake my hand and wish me all the best in my recovery.
"I just want to get back as quickly as possible to help the team win trophies and repay the supporters faith in me."
