Andy Robertson hopes Liverpool's torrid battle with injuries this season has come to an end.
The Reds fitness issues this term have been relentless.
Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Fabinho, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alisson Becker, Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara, James Milner and Diogo Jota have all endured or are still undergoing lengthy spells on the treatment table.
As well as the long-term injury setbacks the Premier League champion s had several players suffer from Covid during the first half of the season with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Thiago, Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita all testing positive for the virus.
In recent weeks, however, players have started to return while others are staying injury-free in what will be a big boost to Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool's designs on a Champions League win or top four finishing spot in the top flight.
"Every season is a test," Robertson said. "Trying to win a league with the expectations at Liverpool is incredibly difficult.
"Last season and the season before were tests in different ways. But this one has been tough, of course it has.
"Having people fall around you - every game we were going into, we were picking up injuries.
"Hopefully, touch wood, we have kind of stopped that now.
"In the last six to eight games, we have not picked up many and we have started to get boys back.
"Being a mainstay of that team, keeping myself fit and being able to be relied on: I have enjoyed the responsibility. But I’ve not enjoyed the results on the park.
"We know we can do better but we’ve got a big finish to the season. We’ve got nine games left in the Premier League to try to push up into a more respectable position. And we are in the last eight of the Champions League."
