RAFA PLEASED WITH AQUILANI PROGRESS
-
Rafael Benitez today revealed new signing Alberto Aquilani is making good progress in his recovery from an ankle injury.
The Liverpool boss isn't putting a timescale on when we'll see his new signing in action for the first time, but he admits Aquilani is improving as he continues to work under the guidance of the Reds' medical staff at Melwood.
"Alberto is improving," said Benitez. "We were talking before about six to eight weeks and after a few weeks his ankle is much better but he will need time.
"He's in the swimming pool and in the gym and working with the physios but he's not jogging yet.
"We cannot put a date on things and it's important to just see how he progresses.
"We are checking on him regularly and he had a scan in the past week which showed he is much better.
"It's just a case of keeping an eye on him every day. When he does start to play everyone will see what a clever player he is."liverpoolfc.tv

Rafa put so much hope on him, which I think is not necessary. It's added pressure on him...He will not be performing to his potential if Rafa keep putting unnecessary pressure even before he kick the ball...
