KEWELL AND INJURY IN SAME SENTENCE SHOCK!

Harry Kewell: Plays for us sometimes
|
Liverpool enigma Harry Kewell will not be back in first team action till at least March according to the player himself.
The 28 year old has been in Australia for the past two months recovering from the multiple operations he has subjected his body to in an effort to get his career back on track. A train of pain has conspired to make the once-irrepressible player a part-time employee at best over the past three years. Now, though, everything has been stripped down and rebuilt anew: his left foot, his right ankle, his notoriously troublesome groin.
Yesterday Kewell, still limping with the pain of his most recent groin operation, said he did not expect to play again until February. "My groin's a bit sore at the moment," he said. "I just had the op done on Friday but the surgeons are very happy. I meet up with them again today, and if they give me the all-clear, I'm back off to England."
He said he would do his best to get down to London "to say hello to the boys and maybe watch the game" when the Socceroos play Ghana at Loftus Road next month, and pledged that when he did return to the field, he would come back slicker, quicker and trickier than at any point during his early twenties, when he could rightly have claimed to be among the world's best midfielders.
"The fans have been patient with me over the past two years but now I'm all sorted. Hopefully everything is going to be right, and then I can make a full recovery and go out there and play something that I thoroughly love," he said.
Speaking about Liverpool's stuttering start to the season he said:
"We're playing well, we're just not finishing our chances. I think if you look at our past record, we've always had a slow start to the season. But we always pick it up. We know where the back of the net is, and it only takes one spark from any one of our great players to do that."
We will see you in the first half of the European cup final then Harry ;-)
