Liverpool midfielder Stefan Bajcetic admits he's been frustrated working his way back from injury.

Bajcetic has been battling with adductor issues.

"You can't stop thinking of what I would have done in that moment, I could obviously be doing that," Bajcetic told the club's website. "So it's obviously tough. It's just getting to the gym and counting the days to going back.

"Because I had the same injury before but in the other side, when I was getting the pain, I kind of thought about that, it was going to be the same," he explained. "But in my mind it was like, 'it can't be the same, I need to keep playing'.

"But I did a scan. Scans are very cruel they always show something. I remember I was at home, they rang me and they told me, 'you have a stress response'. Obviously it was a tough moment but I kind of took it well, I think. I took it as an opportunity to get stronger, improve in some bits. I just tried to stay positive mentally."
