Liverpool centre-half Daniel Agger says he is fit and ready to replace the suspended Sotirios Kyrgiakos against Arsenal on Wednesday.
The Denmark international made just his second starting appearance in six weeks in the win over Everton as he has been constantly plagued by one niggling injury after another for the past two years.
Foot and back injuries have curtailed his performances and he was recently out due to a groin injury but he claims he is over his problems and ready to replace Kyrgiakos who is suspended for the next three matches.
"It has been annoying. I've done my best trying to play but it has been really difficult.
"If you have something you can't play with even if you try you know you are not 100%.
"It is so frustrating but you have to accept it is part of the game even though my injuries have not been that many, just big."
