Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva is itching to return to first-team action against Arsenal on Saturday after nearly two months on the sidelines with a groin injury.
The Brazilian has not featured since limping off in February's 0-0 Merseyside derby draw with Everton.
Lucas was back on the bench for Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to rivals Manchester United before the international break and played 90 minutes in an All-Star charity match at Anfield last weekend.
