"However, what made today that little bit sweeter was what I’ve gone through over the last 147 days. 147 long days to get back to playing at Anfield! There’s too many people to thank who have been in my corner and given me incredible support throughout this journey. The surgeon, my physios, coaches, staff, teammates, family and friends- their constant support day in, day out has helped me more than they will ever know and I’m extremely grateful.

"Finally, I want to thank the fans for their love and support. The work doesn’t stop now, it’s only just getting started."
