LIVERPOOL left-back Andrea Dossena is confident his struggling team will turn things around after a losing four successive matches.

“I believe we can play catch-up,” said Dossena.

“We have not won in the last four games and we face difficult games against Manchester United and at Lyon. But we hope to recover (injured players) Fernando Torres, Albert Riera and Steven Gerrard, key players in this team.”

The Italy international sustained a groin injury in Liverpool’s Carling Cup victory at Leeds last month and is eager to return to playing. Dossena wants to make a name for himself in the Premier League despite being linked with a return to Serie A with Napoli linked with a move.

He said: “I have now been sidelined for a month and the recovery is going well. I expect to be available in the coming weeks.

“I am happy to be a Liverpool player,” he said. “I have a lot of will to prove that I can have a say in England.

“I accept that there is a lot of competition in my role and I will wait for my turn to play.

“I have the advantage of playing in an important club that has several players available for each role.

“Benitez appreciates my professionalism and knows my potential and I respect his decisions.

“If in the future I do not enter in the plans of the coach, only then would I evaluate other destinations, including that of Napoli.”
