Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is on course to make his comeback from injury next month.

The England international was expected to be sidelined for around three months when he suffered a thigh strain in the friendly against Atletico Madrid in early August.

However, Lallana has made decent progress and should be back in action in mid to late October. He will start working outside at Melwood next week and has been pencilled in to return to full training during next month’s international break.

Boss Jurgen Klopp said: “Adam made the Champions League squad because it was a moment when we had to think about these things and the medical department told me that in around about six weeks he should be back.

“That was around August 31. So it should be about another four weeks before he’s normal training. It looks all on the right way for him.”
