Romania international Adrian Mutu is confident his recent injury problems are finally behind him.

The 30-year-old former Chelsea star marked his first start for almost a month following an elbow injury by scoring twice in a 3-1 win against Bologna earlier this week.

An upbeat Mutu said: "I felt no pain in my elbow that day. I went into challenges without fear and, although it was difficult to stay upright on the slippery surface, I managed it.

"I am happy, truly very happy. I hope the chain of injuries that hit me has finally been broken.

"It was strange, my first two touches were turned into goals. They really gave me wings and it's a shame I didn't score a third, as I had the chance and made a mistake.

"I want to continue to do well and keep the team near to the Champions League places.

"I also hope to be back in the national side soon, as we'll do everything to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. We have to beat Serbia, Austria and then Lithuania."
