Alberto Aquilani is itching to make his first-team debut after making his Liverpool bow for the reserves.
The £20million summer signing came on for the final 15 minutes of the second string's 2-0 win over Sunderland at Tranmere's Prenton Park last night and was delighted to pull on finally a Liverpool shirt.
Aquilani has been out since last season with an ankle injury and is targeting his first appearance for Rafa Benitez's senior side.
"It was a good day for me because I have not played for six or seven months," said the Italian international.
"I have to do more good work with the medical staff. I'm happy with 15 minutes and it's important for my confidence.
"I can't wait to make my debut for the first team now.
"Like every other player, I want to be playing, but the important thing for me now is to keep improving my fitness."
