Liverpool and Germany midfielder Emre Can is having a hard time watching on from the bench while the Reds enjoy their football under Jurgen Klopp.
Can returned to Liverpool from Euro 16late and then suffered an ankle injury, two factors which have contributed to his lack of time on the pitch this season.
Speaking to the club'sofficial website, the 22-year-old lamented on his current situation, but admitted that he would have to work extra hard to get back into the team.
"I am a very, very bad watcher!� he remarked.
Of course I'm always happy when my team wins, but it's always different when you play.
I have to work hard. I have to get fitness back. If I get game time “ which is always different to training “ I have to work hard on my game and get confidence again.
That's very important for me. I haven't played so many minutes this season but of course my target is to play a lot of minutes again.
"It is always better to play and be on the pitch. For me, it has been a little bit unlucky so far this season because I came back a little bit late and had a very short break after the Euros.
Then I came back and got an injury. The team did very well and then I came back and it was not easy to get back into the team.
Now I have to continue the work, I have to work hard. And I am confident enough that if I am ready and fit, I will play one day.�
