Liverpool's Fabio Aurelio hopes to put months of injury frustration behind him against Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The Brazilian has been restricted to just five appearances - and has not started since August 26 - since re-signing in the summer because of injury.
He will play at left-back in the absence of Paul Konchesky, who is one of seven first-teamers either injured or being rested.
