Shaqiri feels 100% fit and ready to impact Liverpool’s busiest period of season

Xherdan Shaqiri feels 100 percent fit and ready to impact Liverpool’s busiest period of the season.

Having been unavailable for much of the campaign due to a calf injury, the Swiss was forced to wait until early December to make his first start in 2019-20.

And, with his calf issue now behind him, Shaqiri has outlined his desire to build on a Merseyside derby showing described as ‘incredible’ by Jürgen Klopp. 

“[I’m] definitely 100 per cent [fit]. Obviously I needed one or two weeks to train but of course I am happy and feeling good so I’m ready,” the No.23 told Liverpoolfc.com at Melwood.

“I feel good, I feel in shape and I think you saw that against Everton. I’m very happy that I played and got some minutes because I went out for a few weeks. 

“I was very happy firstly that I played from the beginning and I wanted to give a good performance. I was very happy and to come back with a goal in the derby was amazing, [something] I’ll never forget. 

“But I am looking forward now to the next games. I’m feeling good and I hope for many more.”
