Liverpool striker Harry Kewell has targeted next month's Champions League clash with Barcelona for a first-team return.
The Australia international has not played this season after injuring his foot in last summer's World Cup but has finally resumed running.
The Reds visit the Camp Nou on February 21 and an upbeat Kewell told the club's official website: "I hope that I'm about three or four weeks away from being fully-fit.
"I'm under the supervision of the medical team here and the surgeons who operated on me, so once they're all happy with the running then I can start on ball work.
"Once that's going well it's up to the manager when he decides I'm ready.
"Returning to training was amazing, just getting to this stage is a major relief and a weight off my mind.
"The lads are great here, they're always asking when I'm going to be ready and how I'm going, but you can't really feel part of it unless you're getting your shirt dirty with them at the weekend."
