Liverpool striker Danny Ings has vowed to do everything right when it comes to planning his rehabilitation.

The Reds summer signing from Burnley was the club's top scorer before he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his first training session under new manager Jurgen Klopp.

Although reluctant to put a timescale on his recovery, the 23-year-old is hopeful of playing again this season and is determined to do everything by the book as he looks to recover.

Three weeks on from his injury, Ings said: "Being here at Liverpool it is going to be important to make sure I'm eating right, sleeping right, taking my vitamins, doing my gym work, icing my knee and resting every day.

"Otherwise you are playing catch up. You have to be more dedicated when you are injured because there is more of a mountain to climb to reach the top.

“I think he [Jurgen Klopp] knows he doesn't have to worry about me slacking off.”

Just days before his cruel blow, Ings had made his England debut but he's adamant he will not be a one-cap wonder.

He said: "My dream as a child was to play for England and to represent my country and I got that opportunity," said Ings.

"I had just got my foot in the door and all of sudden it was slammed on my toes.

"But I don't think that dream is over for me. I am not one of those guys who gets a cap and I am going to fall away now.

"Hopefully when I am fit I can get back in the manager's thoughts and see where it takes me. He left a voicemail message for me and some texts. It gives me fire in my belly to go again."
