Alexis Sanchez has said that he is focused on finding consistency for Barcelona this season and putting his injury problems behind him.

Sanchez produced a series of impressive performances when fit in his debut season in Spain but was hampered by a series of injuries.

The 25-year-old is determined to improve on 15 goals in 25 appearances last season in La Liga and believes that he is ready to deliver.

"Thanks to all those who worked with me. I now know my body better," Sanchez told El Mundo Deportivo.

"This year, I hope not to get hurt so often and so give better performances. I hope to be more regular and consistent."

Sanchez started in Barcelona's first friendly of pre-season on Tuesday, a 2-1 win over Hamburg.
