The Australian midfielder, whose contract runs out in the summer, has suffered four years of injury problems at Anfield, but after figuring in 11 of Liverpool´s last 14 matches it is clear that boss Rafael Benitez is giving Kewell every chance to prove his worth and win a new deal.
Kewell, who is free to discuss his future with other clubs in the new year, explained his attitude to the next few months in a Liverpool FC magazine interview, saying: "I can´t even think about a new contract. With my injury history and my record over the last two seasons, games and goals wise, I can look no further than the next match."
