Joel Matip discusses his recent form: 'I feel good'

The defender was out of action for a month after fracturing his collarbone in December.

But since returning from that setback, Matip has started 19 of the last 22 matches in all competitions, receiving widespread praise for his centre-half partnership with Virgil van Dijk.

"At the beginning of the season I was struggling with injuries and other lads did very well, so there was no reason to change," Matip told Liverpoolfc.com.

"But in the second half I could play and could improve. I feel good.

"You are waiting for this. And then if you can use it, it's not a bad feeling - it's not the worst feeling."
