Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy believes that Michael Chopra is one of the best players that he has at his disposal.
The 28-year-old has scored just twice in his last 13 outings and is currently on a goalscoring drought that stretches back almost three months.
He has also not started any of Town's last eight matches but McCarthy is eager for the striker to rediscover his goalscoring touch.
"I have a lot of time for Chops, certainly in terms of his ability," McCarthy told the East Anglian Daily Times. "He's been one of the really good Championship players over the last how many years and I'd like to get that out of him again.
"I just want to see him on the pitch. I've seen him in training and he is one of the best players here, there is no doubt about that."
Chopra joined the Tractor Boys from Cardiff City in 2011.
