'We've got a squad to last the season'
Simon Mignolet expects every member of Liverpool's squad to contribute during the club's final 11 fixtures of the season, with the return of four injured teammates highlighted as an additional bonus.
The Belgian goalkeeper has completed every minute of the Reds' Barclays Premier League campaign, but has watched on as a series of unfortunate issues have demanded regular changes in defence.
But vice-captain Daniel Agger and Glen Johnson each came back to competitive action this month; meanwhile, defensive midfielder Lucas Leiva and centre-back Mamadou Sakho are nearing fitness.
Their timely reintegration to the group can provide a helpful boost to an already hungry squad, according to Mignolet, as Brendan Rodgers' side prepare to navigate the all-important run-in.
"Every single individual in the squad is very important for us," the No.22 told Liverpoolfc.com. "We're happy that Dan and Johnno came back into the squad at the weekend.
"Lucas and Mama are working really hard to get back, with the others as well. I'm sure we've got the squad to get through the last games of the season."
As a number of their rivals recommence participation in the Champions League and Europa League, the notion that a lack of continental football could actually aid Liverpool has been debated once more.
Rodgers' charges have the opportunity to focus solely on their challenge in the Premier League for the remainder of 2013-14, currently sitting in fourth place - four points behind the leaders.
None of that matters to the conscientious Mignolet, however. The 25-year-old retains tunnel vision on the next obstacle in the Reds' way, which is Southampton at St Mary's on Saturday evening.
He continued: "We just have to look at the games we play. We don't really have to think about what other teams have to do or who other teams have to play.
"We just have to prepare ourselves for our own games - I'm sure that we will do that. Like I've said on numerous occasions, it's not about thinking what's going to happen at the end of the season.
"We've got Southampton at the weekend and we're focusing on that. The next game is the most important one, not what's coming after that. We'll focus ourselves on that single game."
