Liverpool winger Bobby Adekanye hopes to be in contention to face Chelsea U23s when both teams face off in the Premier League 2 on Saturday following an injury scare in his last match against Arsenal.
The Ibadan-born Netherlands youth-teamer had to be stretchered off the pitch in the closing minutes of last Friday's tie at Arsenal after sustaining a knee injury but the injury is not as bad as initially feared.
''I was in shock myself and was a little bit scared by what happened. It was a horrible landing and the pain wasn’t good,'' Adekanye told Liverpoolfc.com.
''I just want to thank the Arsenal physios as well, who helped me along with Paul Kelly and Paul Squires to recover quickly.
''Now I feel less pain, I’m feeling good again and hopefully I will be back training with the squad and can play against Chelsea because it’s a game I don’t want to miss.''
Adekanye has been in excellent form for Liverpool's youth teams so far this season and trained with the first team during the international break this month.
