Emre Can is desperate to win his place back in the Liverpool side after recovering from injury.
Can, 22, has watched the Reds make a flying start to the Premier League season, winning five of their seven fixtures, and although he has enjoyed watching from the sidelines he wants to play a part too.
"I am a very, very bad watcher!" he told Liverpool's official website. "Of course I'm always happy when my team wins, but it's always different when you play.
"I have to work hard. I have to get fitness back. If I get game time -- which is always different to training -- I have to work hard on my game and get confidence again.
"That's very important for me. I haven't played so many minutes this season but of course my target is to play a lot of minutes again.
"It is always better to play and be on the pitch. For me, it has been a little bit unlucky so far this season because I came back a little bit late and had a very short break after the Euros.
"Then I came back and got an injury. The team did very well and then I came back and it was not easy to get back into the team.
"Now I have to continue the work, I have to work hard. And I am confident enough that if I am ready and fit, I will play one day."
