It seems that Philipp Degen has a selective memory.
The Swiss right-back insisted this week he is not injury prone and is relishing a “new start” at Anfield after his first campaign was a nightmare.
Degen managed just two senior appearances last season and both were eventful.
He collided with Sami Hyypia in the Carling Cup match against Crewe and broke two ribs and punctured his lung.
When he returned for the tie with Spurs he suffered a broken metatarsal.
After returning to action back in January he was swiftly sidelined again after picking up a foot injury playing for the Reserves.
“Last year was a very sad year for me," Degen said.
“I have never had a season like last season before when I was injured all the time.
“I came to a new club wanting to show what I could do but it wasn't possible.”
This is the same player who only made 10 appearances for Borussia Dortmund in the 2007/8 campaign as he spent most of the campaign on the treatment table.
