Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has returned to full training following a calf problem.
The Slovakia international only joined The Reds last month but he has been limited to just four appearances and has not featured since the goalless draw with Chelsea.
However, he could now be available for this weekend's Premier League clash against Middlesbrough after recovering quickly from a pulled muscle.
Skrtel told SITA: "The treatment has been going well. It has got better and better.
"The prognosis was that I should be back in up to 10 days and this is the ninth one."
Skrtel was delighted with the performance of his team-mates in the 2-0 victory over Internazionale on Tuesday, which sets Liverpool up as favourites to make it through to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
"The whole team played very well. We were the better team for the whole 90 minutes, we did not give them anything," he said.
"Of course, we had it easier after (Marco) Materrazzi's red card which was perhaps too harsh.
"It was just a pity we did not score more goals, but even so the result 2-0 is very promising ahead of the second leg. I believe we will go through."
