The Liverpool forward, who had surgery on his right knee last month, said his recovery had gone “perfectly” and he might play some part in Spain's three warm-up friendlies against Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Poland.

“I am in very good shape and happy with how the injury is developing,” the 26-year-old said in an interview with Spanish sports daily Marca published on Tuesday.
“I have had two operations since January and that's not easy,” he added.
