Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson believes he is getting back to his best form after a season hampered by injury.
The former Portsmouth defender went down with a knee injury at the end of December, a serious problem that kept him out for two months. But since returning to Rafael Benitez's side, the England international believes he is gradually getting back to his best.
"Obviously each game from the injury I am picking up more and more fitness," Johnson told Sky Sports News.
"Obviously when you have been out for so long it is difficult to pick up where you left off because your match fitness has gone out the window and you need games to get that back.
"Every game I feel better and better now."
It has been a difficult season for the Reds, but they still have the chance to end it with Europa League glory. And Johnson believes his team-mate, Fernando Torres, will be back soon to help them achieve that aim.
"Yes it is massive [to be missing Torres], obviously Fernando can score a goal out of nothing and obviously you need to have that sort of option on the field really," he added.
"I think his rehab is going quite well so I think he will be back pretty soon."
