Dejan Lovren is desperate for the `black cloud` hanging over him to dissipate.

The Liverpool defender has been on the outer at Liverpool since he was dragged before half-time against Tottenham last month, with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp publicly criticising his performance after the game.

Speaking to 24sata, the much maligned Croatian said: "My condition? Let`s say there have been better days.

"You simply cannot change what has happened in the past. I would just love to finally get that black cloud away from me, so things can get better.

"It`s not easy for me. Maybe it`s interesting for everyone else, but I guess it`ll be better soon."
