Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says he's ready to count on striker Andriy Voronin this season.
He told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Voronin is doing really well in training. The last pre-season he was good, then he played really, really well in Germany and now he is showing he has the game intelligence we are looking for.
"It is good to have him back. When we signed him we were looking for a player who could play between the lines as a second striker with quality.
"He told me he wants to stay and fight for his position. I told him it will be difficult with Torres and Gerrard playing together. He realises this but knows we have 60 games a year and wants to fight for his position."
Voronin scored 11 goals and provided nine assists in 26 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit.
Benitez added: "In this moment he's a Liverpool player and it depends on him. If he works hard and plays well he will have a chance."
