Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has hailed Joe Cole for training hard and trying to regain his form, in light of his recent contribution in the club's victory over Birmingham City.
The Reds registered a thumping 5-0 win over Alex McLeish's men last weekend, with the former Chelsea midfielder coming on as a late substitute for Raul Meireles and almost immediately getting his name on the score sheet.
The 29-year-old joined the Merseyside club on a free transfer last summer, but was sent off for the first time in his career on his Premier League debut - against Arsenal.
And the creative playmaker has endured a difficult season since, with an exit from Anfield reported to be on the cards.
"Joe’s goal wasn’t a little contribution," Dalglish said, according to The Mirror.
"It could be massive for him because he has not had as many opportunities as he would have liked as he’s been injured and suspended.
"He’s had a difficult time, but it is a great credit to him the way he has been training and working every single day.
"He’s not let it affect him, and that’s all I can ask for – for anyone when they do get their chance to go on and do their best. He is fantastic in training. He plays everything right and doesn’t have a problem."
