Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel is hoping to be back playing soon as his rehabilitation from a knee injury progresses well.

The Slovakian centre-back damaged his posterior cruciate ligament in Liverpool's 3-2 win at Manchester City in October.

He did not require surgery and is now working hard to return as soon as possible.

"I don't know exactly the date but the predictions were for before Christmas and I am hoping it is as soon as possible," said Skrtel.

"The injury is much better. It has been six weeks since the injury and I have stopped using the crutches, but obviously I have work to do in order to get the ligament back to what it was before."
