Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes he is only now getting back to his best following his recent troubles with a fractured toe.

Gerrard picked up the injury during a Champions League qualifier against Toulouse five weeks ago and played through the pain barrier in two Euro 2008 qualifiers for England earlier this month.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has started his skipper on the bench in two of the last four games and Gerrard claims he is beginning to feel the benefit of the patient approach.

"I'm feeling a lot better now," he told the club's official website.

"The last three or four days, I've been totally pain-free from my toe.

"I've struggled during the last two or three games and have been getting a lot of pain from it.

"But I've been training every session and can feel my sharpness coming back, so I think my top form is only around the corner."
